YOUR “ANTI CODE GRABBING“ TRANSMITTERS
The transmitters included with your new security system use the most advanced and
secure form of radio frequency transmission available on any current automotive security
system. Some of today’s sophisticated auto thieves use a device known as a code grabber,
which will receive and store the signal from your keychain transmitter, and re transmit at a
later time to disarm your system.
Your Keeloq Code Hopping transmitters will change their signal every time the button is
pressed, so when a thief grabs then re-transmits your signal, the alarm system
will not
respond.
If your transmitter button is pressed more than fifty times while it is out of range of the vehicle
( children playing with your keys ), the transmitter will not operate when you return to the
vehicle, and will need to be re aligned to the receiver. To do this, simply press button 1 two
times within a one second time period. The system will now respond to that transmitter each
time a button is pressed.
NOTE: This system is custom configurable and can be set up to operate with a number of
options controlled from any transmitter button or button combination. For reference, we will
describe operation assuming that your system is programmed for sperate lock and unlock
buttons. Also reference will be made to the icons as shown on the buttons below.
Consult your installation center if your system has been configured differently.
NOTE: Your system has the option of using a siren, the vehicle horn, or both for the sounding
device. Where the siren is referenced below, the horn or both may in fact chirp, or beep.
ARMING THE SYSTEM - ACTIVE
1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, and close all doors, hood lid, and trunk
lid.
2. Press and release button Lock/Arm button on the keychain transmitter.
þ The dash mounted LED begins to flash slowly.
þ Parking Lights flash one time.
þ Siren sounds one chirp.
If the siren sounds 3 chirps, then you have left a door, trunk, or hood lid
ajar. Simply close the opened entry point to provide full protection. If the
siren did not sound when arming, then the chirps have been turned off,
and you should refer to the section titled “ ELIMINATING THE ARM /
DISARM CHIRPS “ in this manual.
o Doors Lock - Optional
Note: If the optional Headlamp illumination feature has been added, and has been se-
lected for operation when arming, as an added convenience, the system will turn on
the headlights when the system is armed.
