OPTIONAL FEATURES/FUNCTIONS
When in Valet mode, locking and unlocking the vehicle doors will be the
only operations available through the remote, the system will not arm the
alarm. The siren will be muted at this time as well. Use Valet mode mainly
for the reasons described in the “Safety Information” section of this
manual. To activate Valet mode, tap the and buttons
simultaneously for a split second. Do the same again to remove the
system from Valet Mode.
Note: If you have lost or damaged the remote, you can manually enter
Valet mode by turning the ignition on then off 5 times.
You can exit Valet mode only with a remote.
With this feature turned on, when the vehicle is started with the key, the
doors will lock after the vehicle has started. The doors will lock as soon as
the key has been inserted and a turned to the ON position and either 30
seconds has passed, or the brake pedal has been pressed. The doors will
then unlock when you turn the key to the OFF position. This option must
be turned on through option programming.
With Passive Arming/Locking turned on, the system will arm and lock the
doors 30 seconds after closing the last open door. The process will go as
follows:
10 seconds after closing the last door : 1 siren chirp and 1 parking light flash.
20 seconds after closing the last door : 1 siren chirp and 1 parking light flash.
30 seconds after closing the last door : 1 siren chirp and 1 parking light flash,
at this time the system will arm, and lock the doors as well.
This process is designed to notify you that the system is about to lock the
doors in case your keys are still located in the vehicle. If this process begins,
but you don't want the doors to lock, simply open one of the doors or turn the
ignition to the ON position. The process will stop until the either the ignition is
turned off and/or the last door is closed again. It will then restart at the
beginning. To activate Passive Arming/Locking, tap the and buttons
simultaneously for a split second. Do the same again to deactivate Passive
Arming/Locking.
These optional functions and features may require additional installation
and/or programming. Please see your installer for more information.
All systems come with a pre-wired starter kill relay that, when the system
is locked and armed, the relay is set to monitor the ignition. If the ignition
is turned on, the relay will trigger and sever the starter wire to keep the
vehicle from starting, even with the key.
Alternatively, the relay can be rewired to sever the ignition wire instead.
This would be optimal in two cases; manual transmission vehicles, and
for using Anti-Jacking mode.
