PROTECTION WHILE THE SYSTEM IS ARMED
; Opening any protected door, hood, or trunk lid will cause the alarm to immediately
sound. The alarm will continue to sound for 30 seconds, then stop and continue to
monitor all protected entry points. If the thief left a door opened, the alarm will sound
for six 30 second cycles, remain armed and ignore that triggered zone.
; Whenever the system is armed, the dash mounted LED indicator will slowly flash.
This serves as a visual deterrent to the potential thief. The LED is a very low current
bulb, and will not cause the vehicle’s battery to drain, even when left unattended for
extended periods.
; Whenever the system is triggered, the vehicle’s parking lights will flash for the full 30
second alarm cycle, attracting visual attention to the vehicle.
; Whenever the system is armed, the vehicle’s starting circuit will be bypassed. If the
thief should choose to ignore the siren/horn, the vehicle can not be started.
; Any strong impact to the vehicle’s glass will cause the alarm to trigger for the full 30
second alarm cycle.
Any mild impact to the vehicle's glass will cause the alarm to sound a short series of
warning tones.
DISARMING THE SYSTEM
Note: If the optional 2 step door unlock circuit is installed, when the unlock transmitter
button is activated, the drivers door only will unlock, pressing the unlock button a
second time will cause all doors to unlock.
1. As you approach the vehicle, press and release the DISARM button on the keychain
transmitter.
; Parking Lights flash two times.
If the parking lights flashed three times, then the alarm was triggered in your
absence. Before turning the key on, examine the LED to identify which zone was
triggered.
; Siren / Horn sounds two chirps.
If the siren/horn sounds 4 chirps, then the alarm was triggered in your absence.
Before turning the key on, examine the LED and refer to the INTRUSION WARN-
ING SIGNALS section of this manual to identify which zone was triggered.
If the siren/horn did not sound when disarming, then the chirps have been turned
off, and you should refer to the section titled “ ELIMINATING THE ARM / DISARM
CHIRPS “ in this manual.
Doors Unlock - Optional
2 Step Doors Unlock - Optional
Entry Illumination Available Option
Note: If the optional entry illumination circuit was added, when the system is disarmed, the
interior light will turn on for 30 seconds, or until the ignition switch is turned on.
WHILE THE SYSTEM IS SOUNDING
If during a triggered state, you wish to shut off the siren without disarming your security
system, simply press and release any transmitter button other than the disarm button. This
action will turn off the siren yet leave the vehicle fully armed and protected. This feature is
particularly useful if you are aware of children playing near your vehicle that may acci-
dently trigger your security system. In this case you can cancel the siren sounding without
disarming your alarm.
