OWNERS MANUAL
ARMED
When button #1 is pressed, the siren chirps and parking lights flash once, and the LED starts flashing to
show the alarm is armed. (No lights flash for the VS235XR.)
ZONE BYPASS
When you press transmitter button #1 to arm the alarm, and the alarm responds with three chirps and three
light flashes (no flashes for the VS235XR), there are two possibilities:
A. Delayed domelights — If your domelights do not immediately turn OFF when you close your car door
(in other words, your vehicle has delayed domelights), it is normal to hear the three chirps. The alarm
should protect all the openings once the domelights go OFF.
B. A zone was bypassed — In other words, the alarm has armed, but a door may not be protected (either
because it is open, or because its pin switch is broken). If the bypassed door is later closed, it will be
restored.
If your alarm indicates a bypassed zone, find the cause as soon as possible to ensure your vehicle is
completely protected. For instance, if your driver's door is not properly closed when you arm your alarm, a
thief may be able to open any door without setting off the alarm.
NOTE — Make sure your car's domelight switch is not in the ON position when you arm your alarm. The
alarm may not arm properly if the domelight switch is left ON.
NOTE — There are references to opening or closing a door throughout this manual. "Door" also includes
your Boot or Bonnet, if they are protected. Ask your dealer.
NOTE — The chirps to confirm zone bypass will not sound if chirp delete is engaged. However, the parking
lights (VS255XR only) will still flash three times. (See CHIRP DELETE).
SENSOR BYPASS (Shock Sensor)
This is useful if you know, based on experience, that your shock sensor will false trigger, such as when you
park near a construction site.
Should you wish to bypass your alarm's shock sensor, first press button #1 to arm the alarm. The siren
chirps and the parking lights flash once (three times if a zone is bypassed) (no flash for the VS235XR) to
confirm armed. Within three seconds, press button #2. The siren chirps three times and the parking lights
flash three times (no flash for the VS235XR) to confirm shock sensor is bypassed. The sensors are
automatically restored the next time button #1 is pressed.
NOTE — The chirps to confirm zone bypass will not sound if chirp delete is engaged. However, the parking
lights (VS255XR only) will still flash three times. (See CHIRP DELETE).
DISARMING
Press transmitter button #1. You will hear two chirps. The red LED will stop flashing. The parking lights
will flash twice, at the same time the car doors will be unlocked (VS255XR only). The alarm is now
completely disarmed.
EMERGENCY DISARM
If you lose your transmitter, you can disarm your alarm with the ignition key switch. While your alarm is
either armed or triggered, turn the ignition switch ON/OFF 4 times within 15 seconds. The siren and the
flashing lights stop if the alarm was triggered, and then chirp and flash three times. The alarm is now in
valet (see VALET). (No lights flash for the VS235XR.)
EMERGENCY CALL FOR HELP (panic)
To trigger the alarm in an emergency, press and hold transmitter button #1 for 3 seconds. The siren
sounds and the parking lights flash for about 30 seconds. Stop the siren and the parking lights any time by
pressing button #1 again. (No lights flash for the VS235XR.)
If the alarm was disarmed when you triggered the emergency call for help, the alarm immediately arms and
the doors lock. If the alarm was armed, the opposite will occur.
TOTAL PROTECTION
While your alarm is armed, your car is protected in the following ways:
l Potential thieves or vandals should be deterred by the flashing LED.
l If anyone opens a door, the alarm will immediately sound the siren and flash the parking lights
(VS255XR only) for 30 seconds, after which the alarm will rearm, bypassing any open doors.
