Built-in vehicle recovery/anti-carjacking circuitry
Concept 50’s built-in BlackJax circuitry provides a safe and effective means of
recovering your vehicle after a theft or carjacking.
IMPORTANT: The factory setting for this feature is OFF. Once you are familiar with
the following, we suggest you turn this feature ON (see pages 20–22). When
anti-carjacking is on, each time you begin driving you MUST enter your disarm-
ing code as noted below (unless the system is in valet mode).
Your secret disarming code tells the system that the car is being driven by an authorized
person. Also, if you open your car door at any point (as would occur in a carjacking
attempt), you must again enter your secret code. Entering your code is simple and easy.
Definitions
Digit: A digit is defined as any number from 1 to 9, inclusive.
Disarming code: A disarming code may be 1 to 3 digits:
A one-digit code = X = any number between 1-9
A two-digit code = XY = any number between 11-99 (excluding numbers with zeros)
A three-digit code = XYZ = any number between 111-999 (excluding numbers
with zeros)
Remember, no code can have a zero.
PlainView switch: A rocker switch mounted on the dashboard or console. The
switch has three positions: 1.) Latched 2.) Center 3.) Spring-loaded momentary.
When you press the latched side, the switch remains in its pressed position. When
you press the momentary side, the switch bounces back to the center position.
Each time you drive your car, you must enter your secret disarming code via the
PlainView switch.
Entering a digit: To enter a digit, you tap (press and release) on the momentary
side of the PlainView switch the number of times corresponding to the numeral of
the digit to be entered, followed by pressing to the latched side, then returning the
switch to its center position.
Entering a code: If your code has only one digit, enter the code as described in
“Entering a digit,” then return the switch to its center position. If your code has
more than one digit, just repeat the above for each digit of your code, then return
the switch to its center position.
Your secret disarming code
Unless the system is in valet mode (see page 13), within 20 seconds after you switch on
the ignition and press the brake (or open a door while the engine is running), you must
enter your secret disarming code to let the system know it is you who is driving. Your
code will be a 1-to-3-digit number of your choosing. Each digit can be any number from
1 to 9, (i.e. the code can be any number between 1 and 999, except those that contain a
zero).
Currently, your system’s factory-set disarming code is the single digit “2.”
