To return to the normal, (alarm mode), operation, move the valet switch to the "off" position
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 alarm system, the valet switch can be used to disarm the alarm. This is referred to as the
"Manual Override". To disarm the alarm:
1. Open the door with the vehicle door key. (The siren will sound)
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "on" position.
3. Flip the valet/override switch to the "on" position.
The system will disarm and the siren will stop sounding, allowing the engine to be started, and
the vehicle to be operated normally. Always remember to move the valet switch back to the
"off" position to allow the passive arming and optional starter interrupt features to be oper-
able the next time you park the vehicle.
INTRUSION WARNING SIGNAL
This system will inform you if an intrusion attempt has occurred while you were away from
the vehicle. Upon disarm, the siren will chirp 4 times and the parking lights will flash 3 times.
Enter the vehicle and
before
turning on the ignition switch, observe the LED flash pattern.
If the LED flashes two times...pause, two times...pause etc., then an intrusion attempt was
made to open the hood or trunk, or an impact or a strong vibration was applied that the
optional shock sensor detected. Check the vehicle for indications of forced entry to these
openings, or signs of glass breakage or body damage.
If the LED flashes three times...pause, three times...pause etc., then an intrusion attempt was
made to the vehicle doors. Check all doors for indications of forced entry.
Note: The LED intrusion warning indications are stored in the system's memory and will be
erased when the ignition switch is turned on.
ELIMINATING THE ARM/DISARM CHIRPS
You can selectively eliminate the normal arm or disarm chirps by holding the respective
transmitter button slightly longer when arming and disarming. This will prevent the siren
chirps for one arm or disarm cycle. If you find this inconvenient and wish to eliminate these
chirps permanently,
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 and unlock buttons of your keychain transmitter also serves as a panic switch and
will cause the 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 either the lock or unlock button of your keychain transmitter for 3 seconds.
