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.

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.

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.
Valet Mode Valet Mode prevents your security system from arming and triggering either automatically or with the remote. In Valet Mode, the system will not arm, but all convenience functions (door locks, trunk release, etc.) remain operational. 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.
The status LED will light solidly if you have entered Valet Mode and will turn off if you have exited Valet Mode. 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.
NOTE: Arming and disarming the system does not reset the NPC™. The only ways to reset a bypassed zone are for that zone not to be triggered for 60 minutes or to turn the ignition key on. When testing your system, it is important to remember that NPC™ can cause zones to be bypassed and appear to not work. If five chirps are heard when disarming the system, NPC™ has been engaged. To clear the NPC™ memory, simply turn the ignition key on.
Disarming Diagnostics Your system has a Tamper Alert feature that notifies you of system triggers that occur while you are away from your vehicle. If you hear four chirps when you disarm, this indicates that the system 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).
Table of Zones A zone is represented by the number of LED flashes used by the system to identify a particular type of input. Standard input assignments are listed in the following table, along with spaces to write in any optional sensors or switches that you have had installed.
chronize the remote, simply press several times within range of the vehicle. The system will automatically resynchronize and the remote will respond normally.

grammed on or off. ■ Ignition controlled door lock feature, on or off.

manufacturers' power door lock systems. For other systems, additional parts may be required. Power Trunk Release: The output of the system can operate a factory power release for the vehicle's trunk or hatch. An optional relay is required. If the factory release is not power-activated, then Directed Electronic’s 522T trunk release solenoid can be added in most cases. Power Window Control: Automatic power window control is provided with the 529T and 530T systems.
Installation Options Installation options may require additional parts or labor. Please consult your dealer. Progressive Unlocking: With electric power door locks, the system can be configured so that when disarmed, only the driver’s door unlocks. A second press of the disarm button within 15 seconds of disarming unlocks the remaining doors. Horn Honk: If connected, the horn will sound if the alarm is either triggered by an intrusion or activated by Panic Mode.
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. Fault-Proof Starter Interrupt: Located on-board the control module, this is an automatic switch controlled by the security system that prevents the vehicle's starter from cranking whenever the security system is armed.
Remote: A hand-held, transmitter control that operates the various functions of the security system. Trigger or Triggered Sequence: The "setting off" or "tripping" of the alarm. A triggered sequence consists of the siren sounding and the parking lights flashing for 30 seconds. Valet Switch: A small, push-button switch mounted inside the vehicle, at a location determined by the installer.
✂ QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE To arm using your remote: Cut along dotted line and fold for a quick and easy reference to keep in your purse or wallet. ■ Press of your remote 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.
