Note: If the passive arming mode was selected at time of installation, the dash mounted
LED will start flashing rapidly indicating that the system is rearming. Opening any
door will suspend the automatic arming.
OPTIONAL ACCESS GUARD ( Two Step Unlock )
If the optional 2-step unlock feature was installed, then only the driver's door will unlock after
the first press of the unlock button. If you want to unlock all doors, you can simply press the
unlock button of the keychain transmitter a second time.
Note: Two Step unlocking is an optional feature that must be wired upon installation.
VALET / PROGRAM / MANUAL OVERRIDE SWITCH
The valet switch allows you to temporarily prevent the system from arming, eliminating the
need to hand your keychain transmitter to parking attendants or garage mechanics. When
the system is in the valet mode, it will not passively arm or activate the starter interrupt
circuit. However, all keyless entry features, as well as the remote panic feature will remain
operational. To enter the valet mode:
1. Start with the valet switch in the "off" position
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "on" position.
3. Flip the valet switch to the "on" position.
The dash mounted LED will turn on solid (not flashing) indicating that the valet mode has
successfully been entered.
To return to the normal mode of operation, move the valet switch to the "off" position at any
time the ignition switch is in the on position.
Note: In the event that you lose your keychain transmitter or the transmitter fails to operate
the keyless entry system, the valet switch can be used to override the optional Starter
Interrupt, and therefore allow the engine to be started. To override system:
1. Open the door with the vehicle's door key.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the on position.
3. Flip the valet/override switch to the on position. LED will turn on solid.
The system will disarm, allowing the engine to be started and the vehicle to be operated
normally. Always remember to move the valet switch to the off position to allow the passive
arming and optional starter interrupt features to be operable the next time you park the
vehicle.
ELIMINATING THE LOCK/UNLOCK CHIRPS
You can selectively eliminate the normal lock and unlock chirps by holding the transmitter button
slightly longer when locking and unlocking. This will prevent the horn/siren chirps for one
lock or unlock cycle. If you find this inconvenient and wish to eliminate these chirps perma-
nently,
1. Start with the valet switch in the off position.
2. Turn the ignition switch "on" then "off".
3. Within 10 seconds of turning off the ignition, flip the valet switch on, "off", "on", "off",
"on", "off".
4. If the chirps were on before you started, the siren will emit 2 short chirps indicating
that the chirps are now off. If the chirps were off before you started, the siren will
emit one short chirp indicating that the chirps are now on.
REMOTE PANIC OPERATION
The lock or unlock button of your keychain transmitter also serves as a panic button and will
cause the vehicle horn (or optional siren) to sound on demand. To use the panic feature, you
must be within the system's maximum operating range. In an emergency situation, to use the
panic feature, press and hold the lock or unlock button of your keychain transmitter for 3
seconds. This will cause the lights to flash, the vehicle horn (or optional siren) to sound, and
if the optional interior illumination circuit was installed, the interior lights to flash. The panic
mode will continue for 30 seconds and then reset.
