2. Press and hold the valet push-button switch until the dash mounted LED,

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.
1. Open the vehicle door. The alarm will sound.
2. Turn the ignition key to the on position.
3. Within 5 seconds, press and release the valet push button switch.
The alarm system will stop sounding and enter the disarmed mode. You can now start and
operate the vehicle normally.
Typically this override mode is used only if the transmitter has become inoperative. You
may elect to enter the VALET mode until repair or replacement of the transmitter, after
which, returning the system to the full operation mode is necessary. To do so, see item 3
under the heading VALET SWITCH.
Programming Your Custom Override Code:
Unlike override switches easily found, and defeated, this security system allows the
consumer to program a personal override code, offering a higher level of security. To take
advantage of this option, programmable feature # 10 must be selected for the Custom Code
Option. Consult your installation center for programming details. The system comes from
the factory with a pre-programmed override code of 11. To change this default override
code, do the following:
1. Disarm the system by use of the transmitter, or by use of the emergency override
sequence. Turn the ignition switch to the on position.
2. Within 10 seconds, press and release the valet/override switch, 3 times.
3. Within 10 seconds turn the ignition switch off, on, off, on, off, on. (The siren or horn will
beep and the lights will flash one time. LED turns On)
4. Within 10 seconds, begin to enter your chosen 10ths digit by pressing and releasing the
push-button switch from 1up to 9 times.
5. Within 10 seconds of the last entered 10ths digit, turn the ignition switch off then on.
6. Within 10 seconds, begin to enter your chosen units digit by pressing and releasing the
push-button switch from 1 up to 9 times.
7. Finish by turning the ignition switch to the off position.
If the new code was accepted, the unit will report back the newly entered code, by
flashing the LED, first indicating the 10ths digit, pause and then the units digit. The unit will
report the new code three times with a one second pause between each code, then the
system will begin arming. If the LED flash pattern reports the previously stored code, the
new code was not entered correctly. Please repeat steps 1 through 7 above considering
the following.
NOTE: Acceptable digits tens or units are 1 through 9. The unit will not recognize a 0
(Zero), or no digit entered in any place, units or tenths.
NOTE: If 15 seconds of inactivity expire, or if the ignition switch is turned off for more then
5 seconds during any of the above steps, the unit will revert back to the last
successfully stored code.
