Instant Remote Control Code Deletion In the event of a lost or stolen remote control, all remote controls can be erased from the system memory preventing unauthorized system operation. (See the “Programming Table for Remote Controls” on page 9). One-Step Remote Control Code Learning The system allows you to add new remote controls in one step. (See the “Programming Table for Remote Controls” on page 9).
Operating Your System To Arm The System The alarm can be programmed for active or passive arming. Active arming means the alarm can only be armed by the remote control. Passive arming means if you forget to arm the alarm with the remote control, the alarm will automatically arm itself 30 seconds after the doors have been closed and the interior lights have turned off. (See the “Programming Table for System Features” on page 9.) Active Arming Press the remote ARM/DISARM button for 1-2 seconds.
User-Programmable Long-Term Silent Arm/Disarm This feature allows you to completely disable the arm/disarm siren chirps until you decide to restore them. (See the "Programming Table for System Features" on page 9.) Remote Panic with Safety Locks In a threatening situation, you can activate Remote Panic with Safety Locks. When activated, the siren will sound and the parking lights will flash. If you are inside your vehicle and the ignition key is “ON,” the doors will lock.
Protected Valet Mode You should place your system in Protected Valet Mode whenever your vehicle is being serviced by mechanics, car wash personnel or driven by valet parking attendants. While in the Protected Valet Mode, all alarm functions are bypassed to prevent unauthorized or accidental arming. Remote-controlled door lock/unlock, trunk release and all optional accessories will still operate. To Turn on Protected Valet Mode 1. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position or start the engine. 2.
Remote-Controlled Accessory Output This output allows you to add an optional remote-controlled accessory to your system such as a remote engine starter, window roll-up, garage door opener* or fuel door release. To activate your optional accessory, press the OPTION button on your remote control. *Requires additional module. Zone 2 Impact Sensor The Zone2 Impact Sensor has two individual vibration/impact sensing zones.
Alarm State Memory If your vehicle battery is disconnected and later reconnected, the system will automatically return to its last state before power was removed, whether it was armed, disarmed or in Protected Valet Mode. For example, if a mechanic disconnects the battery while the alarm is disarmed or in Protected Valet Mode, he won’t trigger the alarm when he reconnects the battery.
User-Programmable Features All system and remote control programmable features are accomplished by turning the ignition key “ON” (or starting the engine) and flicking the valet switch on and off a preset number of times. Your system also allows you to add new remote controls in one step, delete lost or stolen remote controls or rearrange the factory preset remote control functions. 1. Remove the system from Protected Valet Mode.
