Getting Started System Maintenance The system requires no specific maintenance beyond battery replacement for the remote controls. Your 1-way remote control is powered by a coin cell battery (CR-2032) that can be purchased at most retailers. The operating range diminishes as the battery weakens. Battery Replacement Locate the small slot on the side of the remote control. Insert a small slotted screwdriver or equivalent tool into slot and pry the case apart.
Basic Commands Arm/Lock Press and release The alarm arms, doors lock (if connected), and the siren/horn sounds and parking lights flash once. If Valet mode* is On, the doors lock. Exit Valet mode to arm/lock the alarm normally. To Arm/lock and Panic Press and hold The alarm Arms (or Locks in Valet) and, after 2 seconds, sounds the siren/horn and flashes the parking lights. Disarm/Unlock Press and release The alarm disarms, doors unlock (if connected), and the siren/horn sounds and parking lights flash twice.
For optional function (trunk release) Press and hold Activates the Aux output, such as trunk release or an expansion function that you have added to your system. The auxiliary output controls: . Remote Start Press and release Activates (or if On, deactivates) the remote starter.

is remote started. When the same procedure is repeated, the defogger activates and the parking lights flash three times. If the vehicle interior temperature is greater than 55°F when the remote start is activated, the rear defogger does not turn on. Temperature Start Mode Press and and buttons simultaneously Activates the Temperature Start mode. The parking lights flash fast four times to confirm activation.
Remote and System operations Passive arming/locking The system can be programmed to arm/lock itself automatically (called passive arming/locking). If the system is programmed for passive arming/ locking, it will automatically arm/lock 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off and the system detects that you have left the vehicle by opening and closing a door.
• • • • • Shock Sensor Trigger - Heavy impacts to the vehicle will instantly sound the siren/horn and flash the lights for the programmed duration and report Zone 2. Door Trigger - If a door is opened the siren/horn will sound and lights flash for three seconds, then the siren/horn will sound continuously and the lights will flash for the programmed duration and report Zone 3.
lowed by a long chirp. Zone 2 is now bypassed. Press a third time within five seconds. The siren chirps three times followed by a long chirp. Zone 4 is now bypassed. Press a fourth time within five seconds. The siren chirps four times followed by a long chirp. Zones 2 and 4 are now bypassed. Press a fifth time within five seconds. The siren chirps five times followed by a long chirp. All input zones, except the ignition are now bypassed.
If the system is triggered and the siren has been sounding for longer than six seconds, pressing on the remote silences the siren while keeping the system in the armed state. The system does not disarm, but resets. Pressing again after silencing the system will disarm the system. If the system is triggered and the siren has been sounding for less than six seconds, pressing disarms the system. The six second timer is provided for your convenience, in case the system is accidentally triggered.
Valet mode You can prevent your system from automatically arming/locking and triggering by using Valet Mode. This is very useful when washing the vehicle or having it serviced. In Valet Mode, the system/starter kill will not arm/enable, even with the remote control, but all convenience functions (door locks, trunk release, etc.) will continue to work normally. To enter or exit Valet Mode: 1. Turn the ignition on. 2. Turn the ignition off. 3. Press and release the control center button within 10 seconds.
the climate control system. If interior heating or cooling is desired, the climate controls must be preset, and the fan blower must be set to the desired level prior to remote starting the vehicle. Warning! (1) Never remote start your vehicle when the keys are in the ignition, except when performing Valet® Take-Over, and (2) Never start the vehicle if it is not in PARK or NEUTRAL To remote start the vehicle: • Press on the remote control once.
While the vehicle is running during remote start operation, the system monitors the vehicle and automatically shuts down the engine if the system receives any of the following: • The brake pedal is pressed • The hood is opened • The shutdown toggle switch is put into the Off position. • Runtime (12,24, or 60 minutes) expires • Remote control button is pressed once. Optional rear window defogger Pressing the , and simultaneously activates/deactivates the optional rear window defogger.
Important! Timer Mode should be used only in open areas. Never start and run the vehicle in an enclosed space such as a garage or carport. Short Run/Turbo Mode Short run turbo mode keeps the engine running after arriving at your destination for a programmable period of 1, 3, 5 or 10 minutes. This allows the system’s timer to conveniently cool down the turbo after you have left the vehicle. To activate: 1. Park the vehicle and set the parking brake. 2.
Valet Take-Over The Valet Take-Over feature allows the vehicle to remain running after the key has been removed from the ignition. This feature is useful for occasions when you wish to exit and lock the vehicle for short periods of time, but would like to leave the motor running and the climate controls on. To perform Valet Take-Over: 1. Before turning off the engine, press and release on the remote control (or press and release the optional momentary switch). Then wait five seconds. 2.
Safety features This system has several important safety features to ensure proper operation of the motor and prevent accidental damage to the engine or its components. Starter-anti-grind circuitry Whenever the vehicle is remote started, advanced anti-grind circuitry prevents the starter from engaging, even if the key is turned to the start position. This prevents damage to the starter motor if the key is turned to the start position during remote start operation.
Diagnostics The microprocessor at the heart of your system is constantly monitoring all of the switches and sensors connected to it. It is designed to detect any faulty switches and sensors and prevents them from disabling the entire system. The microprocessor will also record and report any triggers that occurred during your absence. Refer to the Table of Zones sections of this guide for diagnostic information.
prevents annoying repetitive trigger sequences due to faulty door pin switches or environmental conditions such as thunder, jackhammers, airport noise, etc. Example: If the alarm triggers three times within a 60-minute period and each time the same sensor or switch triggers the alarm, NPC will interpret those triggers as false alarms. After the third trigger, NPC ignores, or bypasses, that sensor or switch (along with any other sensors or switches sharing the same zone) for 60 minutes.
Zone Description 1 Trunk Pin Dealer installed options 2 Instant trigger: a heavier impact detected by the shock sensor 3 Door switch trigger 4 Instant trigger: for optional sensors 5 Ignition trigger 6 Hood Pin Your system stores the last two triggered zones in memory. If your system has been triggered but the LED has been reset by turning on the ignition, your dealer can still recall the last two zones that were triggered. Contact your dealer for details.
Programming options Programming options control your system’s normal, operational set-up. Most options do not require additional parts, but some may require installation labor. See your authorized Directed dealer for more details. The following is a list of the programmable options, with the factory settings in Bold. • Active arming (transmitter only) or Passive arming (automatic arming 30 seconds after the last door has been closed). • Arming/disarming siren chirps On or Off.
• Forced passive arming On or Off. If your security system is programmed for passive arming and the forced passive arming feature has been programmed on, the system will passively arm after one hour, even if a protected entry has been left open. Forced passive arming ensures that the system will be armed if a door has accidentally been left ajar when leaving the vehicle.
Note: If your installer is programming the system with the Bitwriter,® the remote start run time may be programmed for any duration ranging from 1 to 60 minutes. • 3, 6, 9, or 12 minute timer mode run time. Your system can be programmed to allow the vehicle to run for 3, 6, 9, or 12 minutes when remote started in timer mode. Can be set from 1 to 16 minutes by your installer. • While the remote start is running the engine, the parking lights Flash on and off, or Come on steadily.
