Your APS-20B Vehicle Alarm System has many features and available options some of which
must be selected at time of installation. For your reference, the list on the back page of this
manual shows what features and options have been installed with this particular system.
Consult your installing dealer for options that may have been installed and are not listed.
ARMING THE SYSTEM - ACTIVE
1. Turn the engine off, exit the vehicle and close all doors.
2. Press and release the lock button of your key chain transmitter one time.
The parking lights will flash once, the siren will chirp once, and the dash mounted LED will
begin to flash slowly confirming the system is armed. If you have the optional door lock/unlock
circuit installed, the doors will also lock.
SILENT ARMING - ACTIVE
1. Turn the engine off, exit the vehicle and close all doors.
2. Press and hold the lock button of your key chain transmitter for two seconds.
The parking lights will flash once and the dash mounted LED will begin to flash slowly
confirming the system is armed. The siren will not chirp. If you have the optional door lock/
unlock circuit installed, the doors will lock.
ARMING THE SYSTEM - PASSIVE (AUTOMATIC)
If the passive arming feature has been selected:
Turn the engine off, exit the vehicle and close all doors.
The dash mounted LED will immediately begin to flash rapidly indicating that the 30 second
passive arming timer has begun. If the LED does not begin to flash rapidly, then you have left
a door, hood or trunk ajar. Closing this entry point will allow the arming cycle to begin. If any
entry point is opened during the 30 second arming cycle, arming will be suspended. When all
entry points are closed, the arming cycle will begin again. At the end of the 30 seconds, the
parking lights will flash once, the siren will chirp once and the dash mounted LED will begin to
flash slowly confirming the system is armed. If the siren did not sound when arming, then the
chirps have been turned off. Please refer to the section titled "Eliminating the Arm/Disarm
Chirps" later in this manual. Passive door locking is a selectable feature. If you have the
optional door lock/unlock circuit installed, the doors may or may not lock passively dependent
upon the setup during installation.
PROTECTION WHILE THE SYSTEM IS ARMED:
Whenever the system is armed, opening any protected entry point, (i.e.; hood, trunk, or
doors), will cause the alarm to trigger immediately. The siren will sound and the parking lights
will flash for 30 seconds, then stop and reset to continue to monitor all protected entry points.
If the thief happened to leave the entry point open, the system will sound for six consecutive
30 second cycles then shut down and reset, isolating the triggered zone, while continuing to
monitor and protect all other zones.
Whenever the system is armed, the dash mounted LED will slowly flash. This serves as a
visual deterrent to a potential thief. This LED is a very low current light emitting diode and will
not cause the battery to drain even if left unattended for long periods of time.
If the
optional
shock sensor is installed, any strong impact to the vehicle will cause the shock
