2 Tornado /AMX58 Owner's Manual 12/29/97
Standard Features þ Lifetime Warranty — We guarantee the operation of the control unit and remote controls for as long as you own your car (see the enclosed warranty card for details). þ A Pair of 2-Button/3-Channel Remote Controls — These remotes allow you to command your system from up to 100 feet away. þ User-Friendly Programming — All programmable features are accomplished with a few flicks of the valet switch.
þ Multi-Zone Protection — Offers full perimeter security with separate trigger connections for the doors, hood and trunk (may require optional switches). þ Previous Intrusion Alert — Audibly warns you if the alarm was triggered while you were away. þ Specific Intrusion Identification — The flashing LED identifies which zone was triggered in your absence.
þ Channel 2 Accessory Output — Allows you to add a remote controlled optional accessory such as a remote engine starter, window roll-up, trunk release or fuel filler door release. þ Alarm State Memory — Automatically returns your system to its last state if the battery is disconnected and later reconnected. þ Zone1 Impact Sensor (optional) — Provides precision detection of intrusion-related vibrations and impacts.
Operating Instructions n Remote Control — Each of the pair of remote controls is a miniature radio transmitter with a typical range of up to 100 feet. Obstructions, radio interference, cellular transmissions or a weak remote control battery may reduce the range or interrupt transmission. (If the system does not immediately respond, release and press the button again. This works better than holding the button down.) The second remote can be used by a second driver, or kept as a spare.
n Silent Arm Indications. The parking lights will flash twice, the doors will lock, the starter will be disabled* and the LED will flash slowly. n Silent Disarm Indications. The parking lights will flash once, the doors will unlock, the starter will be enabled* and the LED will turn off. n Interior Light Illumination Capability — When the alarm system is remotely disarmed, the vehicle's interior light(s) will turn on for 30 seconds or until the ignition key is turned on (requires an optional relay).
n User Programmable Passive Door Locking — The system will not automatically lock the doors when the alarm passively arms to prevent the keys and remote from accidentally being locked in the vehicle. If you prefer, you can easily program the alarm to automatically lock the doors every time the alarm passively arms. See the “Programming Table for Alarm Features” on page 8. n To Activate Remote Panic — Press and hold button #1 for 3-4 seconds.
n Automatic Malfunction Override — In the event of a faulty sensor or alarm input trigger zone, the alarm, when remotely armed, will alert you by a series of chirps and light flashes. n Instant Remote Control Code Deletion — In the event of a lost or stolen remote control, all remote controls can be erased from memory to prevent unauthorized alarm operation. See the "Programming Table for Remote Controls" on page 9.
