High Security Disarm
Your system includes a High Security Disarm feature. During the trigger
sequence, using the transmitter to disarm the system will only stop the trigger
sequence (the siren will stop and the parking lights will stop flashing). How-
ever, the system will remain armed and the doors will stay locked. This is
extremely useful if you must stop the system from sounding, but are unable to
check the vehicle visually. The trigger will stop, but the vehicle will remain
protected.
To disarm with the transmitter during a trigger, press button I on your transmit-
ter. The siren will stop sounding. Next press button I once more and the
system will chirp four or five times (reporting the trigger) and disarm.
Disarming Without a Transmitter
This feature allows you to disarm the system without the transmitter should it
be lost, damaged or disabled. In order to disarm without a transmitter, you
must have the vehicle's ignition key and know where the valet button is. Be
sure to check with the installer for the location of the Valet button.
Turn on the ignition.
Push the Valet switch
within 15 seconds.
The system should now disarm. If it does not, you may have waited too long,
so turn the ignition off and on and try again.
IMPORTANT: The Valet
®
switch will not disarm the optional VRS
®
feature. The
hidden VRS
®
arm/disarm switch must be used (see
VRS
®
section.).
Silent Mode
TM
To temporarily turn off the arm or disarm chirps, use Silent Mode
TM
. Simply
press button II briefly before arming or disarming, and the confirmation chirp(s)
will be eliminated for that
one operation only. If you want the arm/disarm chirps
turned off permanently, your dealer can do this for you.
NOTE: The Warn Away
®
response to lighter impacts is bypassed if the system
is armed using Silent Mode™. This ensures that no chirps will be emitted by
the siren in an area you want chirp free. The system is still fully able to trigger.
Only the Warn Away
®
response is defeated.

the key is turned off. Note: If the door is open when the ignition is turned
on, the doors will not lock.
Panic mode enabled/disabled with the ignition on. (Some states have laws
against siren capability in a moving vehicle).
Automatic Engine Disable (AED) on or off. The purpose of the feature is to
protect the vehicle from being stolen at all times, regardless of whether or
not the alarm is armed. If AED is programmed on, the starter of the vehicle
will be disabled 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off. Once the key is
turned off, the LED will flash slowly (one-half its normal armed rate) to
indicate the AED arming cycle. Thirty seconds later, the starter of the
vehicle will be disabled. To start the car, it will be necessary to arm the car
with the remote and then disarm it with the remote. It is also possible to
disarm the AED feature by turning the ignition key to the “run” position and
pressing the valet button once. AED is also disabled when in Valet
®
mode.
NOTE: This feature will only function if the FailSafe starter kill relay has
been installed.
Forced passive arming on or off. If your system is programmed for passive
arming and the forced passive arming feature has been programmed on,
the system will passively arm after one hour, even if a protected entry has
been left open. This feature is useful if a door has accidentally been left
ajar when leaving the vehicle. Forced passive arming ensures that the
system will be armed in every situation. NOTE: When the system passively
arms after one hour, the entry point that has been left open, and anything
connected to the same zone, is bypassed and cannot trigger the system.
However, the remaining inputs to the system are fully operational.
Siren tones and chirp volume. The output of the Revenger
TM
Soft Chirp
TM
siren consists of six different tones in sequence. Any of these tones can
be eliminated by your dealer, resulting in a unique, easily identifiable siren
sound. The siren chirps can be either full volume or 6 decibels quieter
than the full alarm blast.
