Siren or Horn Chirps
(ON by default.) The siren will chirp to confirm basic operations on the system:
By default, upon locking the doors the siren will give one chirp if all doors, hood or trunk are
closed.
If a zone is open as the system is armed, the siren will give three chirps.
When the doors are being unlocked, the siren will give two chirps.
If an intrusion was detected, as the doors are being unlocked the siren will give four chirps.
The system can alternatively be set to:
Warning Mode: no chirp during lock/unlock…
unless a zone is open when locking, in which case there will be 3 chirps upon locking,
or if the alarm was triggered, in which case there will be 4 chirps when unlocking);
Open Zone Notification Mode: 3 warning chirps if a door is left open 10 sec. after arming.
No Chirp: the siren will not chirp under any circumstances.
Disarmed Notification
(Off by default.) This feature will notify the user when the vehicle was left disarmed: after the
engine is shut down and all doors are closed, the siren will chirp once after a 10-sec. delay to warn
the user that the vehicle was left unprotected. The notification can be avoided by pressing the LOCK
or UNLOCK button on the transmitter before the 10-sec. delay.
The user will be notified after the system is disarmed using the transmitter.
Car Finder
(Enabled by default.) The Car Finder option will help you locate your vehicle by emitting a pulse
signal through the horn or the siren. To hear the signal, press LOCK and UNLOCK simultaneously.
This will cause one chirp and one flash of the lights every time you repeat the sequence.
Flashing LED
There are three programmable options regarding the flashing LED:
i. Active arming: the LED flashes normally.
ii. Passive arming: the LED flashes at an accelerated pace during the countdown
before the arming of the starter kill and the security system. Once the starter kill and
the security system are armed, the LED will flash at a slower pace.
iii. Valet Mode: the LED will remain on but will not flash.
Troubleshooting Transmitting Range
Many factors may affect the operating range of the transmitter. Some of these are:
The condition of the battery in the transmitter.
The operating environment (for example: downtown radio-frequency noise, airports, cellular
phone towers…)
Metal: any type of metal will affect operating range. This includes the vehicle itself.
The shape of the vehicle can affect range as well (vans in general have less range).
The shape of the roof and A-pillars brings about considerable radio-frequency deflection (in this
case the signal from the remote control). As a result, the direction in which the vehicle is facing
in relation to the remote control can affect the range. Straight on (standing in front of the vehicle)
generally gives you the greatest range; the second best performance is from the back. Using the
remote control from either side of the vehicle will usually give the lowest range.
The range will be significantly lower in a crowded parking lot than in open space.
Always hold the transmitter high, approximately at shoulder height.
The operating range will be somewhat lower on vehicles equipped with an aftermarket or factory
alarm
