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
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 play-
ing near your vehicle that may accidently 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 dash mounted LED to identify which zone was trig-
gered.
n 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.
o 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.
p 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.
PUSHBUTTON LED/VALET/OVERRIDE/PROGRAMMING SWITCH: (PBLED)
The PBLED 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. 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 PBLED switch until the LED turns on solid. The system will remain in
the valet mode.
3. To return to normal operation, press and release the PBLED switch any time the ignition is
on.
Note: Always remember to return the vehicle to the valet off position. This will ensure that
the vehicle remains protected at all times.
MANUALLY OVERRIDING YOUR SYSTEM:
