trusion attempt was made to the shock sensor, or an accessory triggering de-
vice that may have been added to the system.
If the L.E.D. 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.
If the L.E.D. 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.
VALET SWITCH
The valet 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. Move the valet toggle switch to the on position. The dash mounted L.E.D. will
turn on solid, and remain on as long as the system is in valet mode.
3. To return to normal operation, move the valet switch back to the off position
any time the ignition is on.
NOTE : Always remember to move the valet switch back to the off position. This will
ensure that the vehicle remains protected at all times.
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. Start with the Valet Switch in the off position.
3. Turn the ignition key to the on position.
4. Within 5 seconds, turn the valet switch to the on position.
The alarm system will stop sounding and enter the valet, (by-passed) mode. This is indi-
cated by the dash mounted LED turning on. You can now start and operate the vehicle
normally.
Typically this override mode is used only if the transmitter has become inoperative. After
repair or replacement of the transmitter, returning the system to the full operation mode is
necessary. To do so, see item 3 under the heading VALET SWITCH.
