What is included z Control module and harness z A Stinger® dual stage shock sensor (on-board the control module) z Pre-wired Valet® switch with integrated red status LED z Failsafe® Starter Kill relay (if equipped) Important information Congratulations on the purchase of your security system. Due to the complexity of this system, it must be installed by an authorized dealer only. Installation of this product by anyone other than an authorized dealer voids the warranty.
Using your system Arming your system You can activate, or arm, the system by locking the doors with your factory keyless entry transmitter. When the system arms, you will hear a short siren sound and see the parking lights flash once. While the system is armed, the status LED will flash about twice a second, showing that the system is actively protecting your vehicle. If you hear a second short siren sound after arming, and see the status LED flashing in groups, see Diagnostics section.
Armed protection When armed, your vehicle is protected as follows: z Light impacts to your vehicle will trigger the Warn Away signal. The system will pulse the horn and flash the parking lights for a few seconds. z Heavy impacts will trigger the system. The triggered sequence is 30 or 60 seconds of constant siren sounding and flashing parking lights. z If a door is opened, the system will immediately start pulsing the siren and flashing the parking lights.
Multi-level security arming (If programmed ON) Multi-Level Security Arming allows the user to select sensors to be active or bypassed when the system is armed. Multi-Level Security Arming can only be accessed if the function is set ON (option 3-2) By pressing the LOCK button more than once within 3 and 7 seconds of arming the system activates Multi-Level Security Arming. If the LOCK button is pressed again the unit cancels the bypass of the sensors.
Disarming To disarm the system, unlock the doors using your factory keyless transmitter. The siren will sound twice, and the parking lights will flash twice. If the siren sounds either four or five times when disarming, refer to the Diagnostics section of this guide. This is called Tamper Alert. Disarming without a transmitter This feature allows you to override the system without the transmitter should it be lost, damaged or disabled.
Valet mode ® You can prevent your system from arming, by using Valet® Mode. This is very useful when washing the vehicle or having it serviced. In Valet® Mode, the system will not arm, even with the transmitter, but all convenience functions (door locks, trunk release, etc.) will work normally. To enter or exit Valet® Mode with the integrated LED/Valet® switch: Turn the ignition to “on” position, then turn to “off” position.
The siren will sound and the parking lights will flash for 30 seconds. To stop Panic Mode at any time, press the unlock button on your factory transmitter. note: The system can also be programmed so that pressing the lock button more than once within three and five seconds will activate an optional accessory. If the unit is programmed to activate an optional accessory. Nuisance Prevention Circuitry® Your system has Nuisance Prevention Circuitry® (NPC®).
for three full cycles (one-and-one-half minutes), the doors will be bypassed until the trigger ceases. note: Arming and disarming the system does not reset this function! The only ways to reset a bypassed zone are for it to not trigger for 60 minutes or to turn on the ignition. If testing your system, it is important to remember that this circuitry can cause zones to be bypassed and appear to stop working. If five chirps are heard when disarming, false alarm protection has engaged.
Diagnostics The microprocessor at the heart of your system is constantly monitoring all of the switches and sensors connected to it. It detects 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. Arming diagnostics If the system is armed with an input active (door open, sensor triggering, etc.) the unit will chirp once when arming and then one more time a few seconds later.
Table of zones The zone number is the number of LED flashes used by the system to identify that input. The standard input assignments are listed below. ZONE (Number LED Flashes) DESCRIPTION 1 Trunk /hood opening 2 Heavy impact - detected by the shock sensor 3 Door switch trigger 4 Optional sensor 5 Ignition input 6 Extra switch input (if installed) The LED will not report if the Warn Away response is triggered.
Glossary of terms Control Module: The “brain” of your system. Usually hidden underneath the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor which monitors your vehicle and controls all of the alarm’s functions. Failsafe® Starter Kill (if equipped): An automatic switch controlled by the security system which prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking whenever the system is armed.
