off. After the ignition has been turned off, the status LED flashes slowly to indicate that the AED
will be activated then, the LED flashes normally when AED has been activated.
Note: For AED to be effective, the Failsafe
®
Starter Kill relay must be installed.
UNLOCKING
Pressing for one second unlocks the doors (if connected). The horn will honk twice (if
connected) and the parking lights will flash twice to confirm reception of the command. The
optional Failsafe
®
Starter Kill will be deactivated. The status LED will turn off.
Note: If the doors were locked with the remote transmitter, you
must use the transmitter or the Valet switch to deactivate the starter
kill. Manually unlocking the vehicle will only unlock the doors.
DISABLING THE AED WITHOUT A TRANSMITTER
If your remote transmitter is lost or damaged, you can manually override the AED. To do this, you
must have the vehicle's ignition key and know where the Valet
®
switch is located. Be sure to check
with the installer for the location of the Valet
®
switch.
To disable the AED, turn the ignition to the ON position.
Press and release the Valet switch within 10 seconds. The
status LED will stop flashing and the vehicle should start.
If the vehicle does not start, you may have waited too long;
turn the ignition off and repeat the process.

SILENT MODE
To temporarily turn OFF the horn honk(s) confirmations, simply press for less than one second
before transmitting any commands, the confirmation honk(s) will not be present for that one
operation only.
VALET MODE
You can prevent your system from automatically activating the Failsafe
®
Starter Kill (optional, not
included) by using Valet
®
Mode. This is very useful when washing the vehicle or having it serviced.
In Valet
®
Mode, the starter kill cannot be activated, even with the transmitter, but all convenience
functions (door locks, trunk release, etc.) will continue to work normally.
