NOTE: If the optional headlamp illumination feature has been added, and has been selected
for operation when disarming, as an added convenience, the system will turn on the
headlights when the system is disarmed.
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 Unlock/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.
INTRUSION WARNING SIGNALS
This system will inform you if an intrusion attempt has occurred while you were away from
the vehicle. If an intrusion attempt has occurred, the siren will chirp 4 times and the parking
lights will flash 3 times when disarming the system. Enter the vehicle, and observe the red
dash mounted LED to identify which zone was triggered.
If the LED is flashing one time...pause...one time...pause...etc., then an intrusion
attempt was made to the shock sensor, or an accessory triggering device that may
have been added to the system.
If the LED is flashing two times...pause...two times...pause...etc., then an intrusion
attempt was made to a hood or trunk pin switch that was added to the system, or to
a light activated entry point if the alarm was installed using the voltage sensing
feature.
If the LED is flashing three times...pause...three times...pause...etc., then an
intrusion attempt was made through one of the vehicle’s doors.
These intrusion warning indicators are stored in the system’s memory, and will only be
erased when the ignition key is turned on.
VALET SWITCH
The valet switch allows you to temporarily bypass all alarm functions, eliminating the need to
hand your transmitter to parking attendants or garage mechanics. When the system is in valet
mode, all alarm functions are bypassed, however the remote panic feature and remote door
locks will remain operational. In addition, the parking lights will flash to indicate locking and
unlocking. To use the valet mode, the system must first be disarmed either by using your
keychain transmitter, or by activating your personalized manual override code.
1. Enter the vehicle, and turn the ignition key to the on position.
2. Press and hold the valet pushbutton switch until the dash mounted LED turns on
solid. The system will remain in the valet mode.
3. To return to normal operation, press and release the pushbutton switch any time
the ignition is on.
NOTE: Always remember to return the system to normal operation. This will ensure that the
vehicle remains protected at all times.
MANUALLY OVERRIDING YOUR SYSTEM:
USING THE VALET SWITCH MANUAL OVERRIDE
Your Security System can be disarmed without the use of the keychain transmitter. This is
necessary, since you will need the ability to operate your vehicle if the transmitter is lost or
its battery fails. If your system has been selected for Valet Switch manual override as
indicated on the last page of this manual, to by-pass the alarm system:
