IMPORTANT: What you MUST do to drive your car
If you have the anti-carjacking feature turned on, until you set your own disarming code,
you will use the factory-set code: the single digit “2.” To drive your car, do the following:
1. Start the engine, then press the brake pedal, then enter the factory-set code via the
rocker switch mounted on the dashboard or console (you may 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. See pages 21-25 for information.
What you MUST do if you the system reminds you to enter your code
If you forget to enter the code, the system will remind you to do so 20 seconds after you
begin driving by “chirping” the siren 5 times and flashing its dashboard LED. 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 IntelliGuard IQ systems have the same factory-set code, it is highly advisable
that you set your own disarming code. You may choose any 1-, 2-, or 3-digit code that
does not have any zeros. You can also change your disarming code whenever and
wherever you want. See User-selectable features on pages 21-25.
Example
Let’s say you want to set your disarming code to 31. To do so, you would do the following:
1. From the Table of user-selectable features on pages 24 and 25, you would note that
the “set a new secret valet code” feature is in column 4, row 6.
2. Enter program mode by turning on the ignition, entering your current valet code, then
pressing the PlainView switch to its momentary side for 3 seconds until you hear a chirp.
3. Select column 4 by moving the switch between latched and center 4 times, i.e.:
latched, center, latched, center, latched, center, latched, center. After a brief pause,
you will hear 4 chirps to confirm that you have selected feature column 4.
4. Select row 6 by pressing and releasing the momentary side of the switch 6 times. To
help you count, you will hear a chirp each time you press the momentary side.
5. Immediately flip the switch to the latched position.
6. Enter you new code. To enter 31 as your new code, you would press the switch in
this manner: momentary, momentary, momentary, latched (you’ll hear 3 chirps to
confirm the first digit), momentary, latched (1 chirp to confirm the second digit), center.
7. Wait 3 seconds until you hear 2 chirps, indicating the new code has been accepted.
8. Turn off the ignition to exit program mode (you’ll hear a 3-chirp confirmation).
9. VERY IMPORTANT: You must immediately test your new secret valet code:
Turn on the ignition, enter your new code, then flip the switch to its latched position.
The LED will illuminate. If it does not, the new code you programmed and the one you
just entered do not match. In such a case, the system will revert to the previous code.
