when using the remote transmitter. To access the battery for replacement, remove the rear cover of the remote with a small, flat-blade screwdriver. Your Warranty Your warranty card must be returned and the barcode serial number must not be removed. If the warranty card is not returned, no warranty will be honored on your unit. It is also necessary to keep your proof of purchase, which reflects that the product was installed by an authorized dealer. Make sure you receive the warranty card from your dealer.
Transmitter Functions This system is programmable, making it possible to assign any remote button to any specific receiver function. The remote initially comes programmed with Standard Configuration, but may also be customized by an authorized dealer. The buttons in all instructions in this manual correspond to a Standard Configuration remote. Standard Configuration Button Pressing arms the security system and locks the vehicle doors (if connected).

controlled by the system, the doors will also lock. Once armed, the status LED will flash once per second to indicate that the system is actively protecting your vehicle. If you hear a second chirp after arming and notice that the status LED is flashing in a grouped pattern, this signals Bypass Notification. Bypass Notification is described in detail in the Diagnostics section of this manual. Your security system can also be programmed for Passive Arming.
you time to disarm the security system with your remote transmitter, in case the door is inadvertently opened while the system is armed. ■ Turning on the ignition key triggers the same two-stage progressive response as opening a door. ■ The starter interrupt prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking. Disarming Press to disarm the security system when it is already armed. If the power locks are controlled by the system, the doors will also unlock.
have waited too long to press the Valet switch; turn the ignition off and repeat the process. Location of Valet Switch_________________________________ Panic Mode If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can press for 1.5 seconds to trigger Panic Mode on your security system and attract attention. The siren will sound and the parking lights will flash for 30 seconds. To stop Panic Mode at any time, press , or , on the remote.
This feature is useful when washing or servicing your vehicle. You can access Valet Mode either manually or from the remote. To enter or exit Valet Mode with the Valet switch: 1. Turn the ignition on. 2. Turn the ignition off. 3. Press and release the Valet switch within 10 DRW-35 seconds. The status LED will light solidly if you are entering Valet Mode and will turn off if you are exiting Valet Mode. Remote-Controlled Valet You can also enter or exit Valet Mode by using the remote transmitter: 1.
Nuisance Prevention® Circuitry Your security system has Nuisance Prevention Circuitry™ (NPC™) to prevent annoying false alarms. This circuitry is designed to prevent repetitive trigger sequences due to faulty door pinswitches or environmental conditions such as thunder, jackhammers, airport noise, etc. Here's how it works: If the alarm is triggered by the same sensor or switch three times within a 60 minute period, your system interprets this pattern of triggers as false alarms.
Diagnostics The microprocessor at the heart of your system has the ability to constantly monitor all of the switches and sensors connected to it. It can detect any faulty switches or sensors and prevent them from disabling the entire system. It can also record and report any triggers that occur when you are away from your vehicle. Arming Diagnostics If the system is armed at the same time that an input is active (door opening, sensor triggering, etc.
was triggered in your absence. If you hear five chirps when you disarm, this indicates that a specific zone was triggered so many times that the NPC™ has bypassed that zone. In both cases, the pattern of the flashing status LED indicates which zone was triggered (see Table of Zones). The LED does not, however, report when warn away responses have activated; it only reports triggered sequences.
Stealth Coding Technology ™ The receiver and transmitter use mathematical formulas called algorithms to change their codes each time the transmitter is used. This Stealth Coding™ Technology has been developed to increase the security of the unit. By following this set code sequence, the receiver and transmitter stay synchronized, even if the transmitter is used out of range of the vehicle.
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. This system's programming options are listed below, with the factory default settings in bold: ■ Active arming (only with the transmitter) or passive arming (automatic arming 30 seconds after the last vehicle door is closed).
Security & Convenience Expansions Listed below are some of the many expansion options available for use with your system. Please consult your dealer for a detailed explanation of all the available options. Audio Sensor: Metal on glass, glass cracking, and breaking glass produce distinctive acoustic signatures. The 506T audio sensor uses a microphone to detect these sounds, and then analyzes them with proprietary acoustic software to determine if the glass has been tampered with or broken.
Power Window Control: Automatic power window control is provided with the 529T and 530T systems. These options operate power windows, by rolling them up, down, or both up and down. The 530T also offers one-touch switch operation.
Interior Light Illumination: The interior domelight can be configured to illuminate for 30 seconds after the alarm is disarmed. If the system is rearmed during that 30-second period, the interior light illumination will terminate until the alarm is disarmed once again. Glossary of Terms Control Module: The "brain" of your security system. Usually hidden underneath the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor that monitors your vehicle and controls all of the security system’s functions.
Shock Sensor: A dual-stage shock sensor, located on-board the control module, that detects impacts to the vehicle. Siren: A noise generating device, usually installed in the engine compartment of the vehicle. The siren generates the chirps and tones heard when the system is triggered. Transmitter: A hand-held, remote control that operates the various functions of the security system. Trigger or Triggered Sequence: The "setting off" or "tripping" of the alarm.
✂ QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE ■ Press of your transmitter for one second. When the system arms, you will hear a short siren sound, or chirp, and see the parking lights flash once. If the vehicle's power door locks are controlled by the system, the doors will lock. Disarming: ■ Press again. You will hear two chirps, and the parking lights will flash twice. If the power door locks are controlled by the system, the doors will unlock. Disarming without a transmitter: ■ Turn on the ignition.
