serviced. In Valet Mode, the system will not arm, even with the transmitter, but
all convenience functions (door locks, trunk release, etc.) will work normally.

Turn ignition to “on” position, then turn to “off” position.
Press and release the Valet switch within 10 seconds.
The Status LED will light solid if you are entering Valet

Nuisance Prevention
®
Circuitry
Your system has DEI
®
’s Nuisance Prevention
®
Circuitry (NPC
®
). It prevents
annoying repetitive trigger sequences due to faulty door pin switches or
environmental conditions such as thunder, jackhammers, airport noise, etc.
Here’s how it works:
The alarm triggers three times. Each time, the same sensor or switch is
triggering the alarm. The three triggers are within 60 minutes of each other.
NPC will interpret this pattern of triggers as false alarms. After the third trigger,
NPC ignores, or bypasses, that sensor or switch (along with any other sensors
or switches sharing the same zone) for 60 minutes.
