Important Information IMPORTANT! The Avital Maxx3 system is designed to be installed in any petrol powered vehicle with a 12 volt battery.
Installation Procedures Control Unit CAUTION: The Avital Maxx3 control unit must be installed inside the vehicle. Under no circumstances should the unit be installed under the bonnet or other similarly hostile environment. 1. Select a location under the dash that will allow you to use the screws to securely fasten the control unit. 2. Mount the control unit as high as possible to ensure maximum range. 3. Do not mount the control unit near moving parts. 4.
Ultrasonic Sensors 1. Choose a location at the top of the A-pillar on both driver and passenger sides. 2. Mount the sensors using the screws provided or by inserting the mounting tabs between the dashboard and windscreen pillar. 3. Angle the sensors towards the top centre of the rear window. If mounted at the top of the A-pillars make sure the ultrasonic position does not affect use of the sunvisor. 4. Route the sensor cables to the control module and plug-in. Ultrasonic Sensitivity Adjustment 1.

1. Press the button once and the driver’s door only will unlock. 2. Press the button again within three seconds and the passenger doors will unlock. VIOLET/WHITE Arm/Disarm (-) Output (300 mA maximum) (P1/3) The VIOLET/WHITE wire can be connected to a pager or used to drive a relay when adding extra sirens. This wire pulses to ground (-) when the siren chirps and will stay at ground for as long as the siren is sounding.

Personal Identification Number (PIN) Each system has an individual four-digit PIN. In order to access Valet mode or any of the programmable features, you must first enter the PIN, one number at a time. NOTE: To enter a zero, simply turn the ignition on and then off without pressing the Valet switch. Entering Your PIN 1. Turn the ignition key to the ON position. 2. Enter the first number in your PIN. Press and release the Valet switch the same number of times as the first digit in your PIN.
Programmable Features All system features and remote control features are accomplished by entering your Personal Identification Number (PIN) by following steps 1-12 on page 18, then pressing the Valet switch a preset number of times to access the feature you wish to program. The system also allows you to add new remote controls in one step and delete lost or stolen remote controls. 1. Programming cannot be accessed while the system is in Valet mode indicated by the LED permanently lit.
