Black Jax ve hi cle re cov ery/anti- carjacking fea ture
AvantGuard 4’s BlackJax feature provides a safe and effective means of recovering your vehicle afte r a theft or carjacking. 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 aw ay. The instant the car door is opened, your
AvantGuard 4 takes charge. First it allows the carjacker to drive a short distance, ensuring your safety. Then it repeatedly flashes the brake lights and
continuously sounds the siren to caution nearby drivers and draw attention to your stolen vehicle. The system ignores the remote control at this point
(since the carjacker most likely has it). Then when the carjacker slows for a turn or traffic, Blac kJax safely shuts down the engine and prevents it from
being restarted.
AvantGuard 4 assures the thief cannot restart the engine even if he were to find and remove the sys tem control unit. Unable to restart the engine, and
with your vehicle stalled in the middle of traffic — siren wailing and lights flashing — the carjac ker has no choice but to abandon your car. (The same occurs
to anyone who steals your parked car from you at a gas station or in a parking lot, which are the m ost common carjacking sites). To recover your vehicle,
you simply walk a block or two to your car, enter your PIN (personal identification number) code, a nd the system releases control of the vehicle to you.
Your secret PIN code tells the system that the car is being driven by an authorized person. If you or a passenger opens and closes a car door at any point
while the engine is running (as would occur in a carjacking attempt), you must again enter your secret code.
VERY IM POR TANT: The fac tory set ting for the anti- carjacking fea ture is OFF. Once you are fa mil iar with the
fol low ing, we sug gest you turn this fea ture ON (see the User-selectable features section). When anti- carjacking is
on, each time you be gin driv ing you MUST en ter your PIN code via the PlainView 2 switch on the d ash board or
con sole (un less the sys tem is in valet mode). You may turn this fea ture on or off any time.
IF YOU HAVE THE PAGEMATE 4 OPTION: PageMate 4’s phone-in STOP command eliminates the need to
enter your PIN every time you drive. Instead, if your vehicle is stolen at gunpoint, just call your toll-free PageMate 4
phone number from any touch-tone phone and spell out STOP to activate the BlackJax anti-carjacking electronics.
En able/dis able the anti- carjacking fea ture
You may enable or disable the BlackJax anti-carjacking feature (see User-selectable features) or temporarily override it via PlainView 2 Coded Valet Mode.
Your se cret dis arm ing PIN code
Unless the BlackJax anti-carjacking feature is turned off or the system is in valet mode, 20 second s after you switch on the ignition and press the brake (or
open and close a door while the engine is running), you must enter your secret disarming PIN code on the PlainView 2 switch (mounted on the
dashboard or console) to let the system know it is you who is driving.
Your sys tem’s factory- set PIN code is the sin gle digit 2.
En ter ing a code
To enter your code, press the ✱ button the appropriate number of times on the PlainView 2 switch on the dashboard or console follo wed by the blank
button. To enter a zero, you simply press the blank button.
EX AM PLE: To en ter the factory- set code of 2, you would press and re lease the switch in this ma n ner: ✱✱ blank.
EX AM PLE: To en ter a code of 1203, you would press: ✱ blank, ✱✱ blank, blank, ✱✱✱ blank.
IM POR TANT: What you MUST do to drive your car
If you have the BlackJax feature turned on, until you set your own PIN code, you will use the facto ry-set code of “2.” To drive your car, do the following:
1. Shut all doors, then start the engine.
2. Enter the factory-set disarming code of 2: ✱✱ blank (you may do this while driving, if you wish).
3. The dashboard LED will flash on for an instant to confirm proper code entry. You may now drive or c ontinue driving the vehicle.
What you MUST do if you hear 5 si ren chirps while driv ing
If you forget to enter the code, the system will remind you 20 seconds after you begin driving by “chirping” the siren 5 times and flashing the LED. At this
point, you have another 20 seconds to enter your code. When entered, the LED will stop flashing and the siren will chirp once to confirm proper code
entry. If the proper code is not entered within 20 seconds after the 5-chirp signal, the engine will shut down as soon as you slow for traffic or a turn. 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.
