IMPORTANT: What you MUST do to drive your car
Until you set your own secret disarming code, you will use the factory-set disarming
code, which is the single digit “2.” To drive your car, do the following:
1. Start the engine, then press and release the brake pedal.
2. Within 20 seconds, enter the factory-set code via the rocker switch mounted on your
vehicle’s dashboard or console (you can do this while driving):
a. To enter the factory-set disarming code of “2,” tap the momentary (spring-loaded)
side of the PlainView switch twice.
b. Press the PlainView switch to its other side (latched side), then return the switch
to its center position. You may continue driving.
NOTE: If you wish, you may select to use a remote control button sequence to
disengage the anti-carjacking countdown. A dedicated disarming remote (not
carried on your keychain) is also available. See pages 19–21 for information.
What you MUST do if you forget to enter the disarming code
If you forget to enter the code, Concept 50 will remind you to do so 20 seconds after you
begin driving by “chirping” the siren 5 times and flashing the LED on the dashboard. At this
point, you have another 20 seconds to enter your code. When entered, the LED will stop
flashing. If the proper code is not entered within 20 seconds after the 5-chirp signal, the
engine will shut down. You may enter your disarming code even after the engine is shut
down. Once the proper disarming code is entered, you will be able to resume driving.
How to set your own secret disarming code
Since all Concept 50 systems have the same factory-set disarming code (“2”), it is highly
advisable that you set your own disarming code. You may choose any 1-, 2-, or 3-digit
disarming code so long as it does not have any zeros. You can also change your disarming
code whenever and wherever you want. See User-selectable features on pages 19–21.
Enable/disable anti-carjacking
If you prefer, you may enable or disable the anti-carjacking feature (see User-selectable
features on pages 19–21) or temporarily override it via valet mode (see page 13).
What to do in a carjacking situation
In a carjacking situation, the sooner you are out of the car the better. Don’t resist or take
anything with you, just get out and get away. The instant the car door is opened,
Concept 50 takes charge. First it lets the carjacker drive your vehicle a short distance,
ensuring your safety. Then it flashes the brake/hazard lights to call attention and caution
drivers behind your vehicle that it is about to stop. It then sounds the Medallion Siren
and waits for the carjacker to slow for a turn or traffic, at which point it shuts down the
engine and dynamically prevents it from being restarted. If the carjacker tries to use the
PlainView switch to enter code combinations at random, the system will lock out for
two minutes after three incorrect tries. Even if he stumbles onto the correct code, the
carjacker is still locked out. Unable to restart the vehicle, and with the siren wailing and
brake lights flashing, the carjacker has no choice but to speedily abandon the vehicle.
You simply walk a block or two to your car, enter your secret code, and the system
releases control of the vehicle to you.
