YOUR “ANTI CODE GRABBING“ TRANSMITTERS
The transmitters included with your new security system use the most advanced and
secure form of radio frequency transmission available on any current automotive security
system. Some of today’s sophisticated auto thieves use a device known as a code grabber,
which will receive and store the signal from your keychain transmitter, and re transmit at a
later time to disarm your system.
Your Keeloq Code Hopping transmitters will change their signal every time the button is
pressed, so when a thief grabs then re-transmits your signal, the alarm system
respond.
If your transmitter button is pressed more than fifty times while it is out of range of the
vehicle (children playing with your keys), the transmitter will not operate when you return
to the vehicle, and will need to be re aligned to the receiver. To do this, simply press button
1 two times within a one second time period. The system will now respond to that transmitter each time a button is pressed.
NOTE: This system is custom configurable and can be set up to operate with a number of
options controlled from any transmitter button or button combination. For reference, we will
describe operation assuming that your system is programmed for sperate lock and unlock
buttons. Also, reference will be made to the icons as shown on the buttons below.
Consult your installation center if your system has been configured differently.
NOTE: Your system has the option of using a siren, the vehicle horn, or both for the
sounding device. Where the siren is referenced below, the horn or both may in fact chirp,
or beep.
ARMING THE SYSTEM - ACTIVE
1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, and close all doors, hood lid, and trunk lid.
2. Press and release button Lock/Arm button on the keychain transmitter.
þ The dash mounted LED begins to flash slowly.
þ Parking Lights flash one time.
þ Siren sounds one chirp.
If the siren sounds 3 chirps, then you have left a door, trunk, or hood lid
ajar. Simply close the opened entry point to provide full protection. If the
siren did not sound when arming, then the chirps have been turned off,
and you should refer to the section titled “ELIMINATING THE ARM /
DISARM CHIRPS“ in this manual.
o Doors Lock - Optional
NOTE: If the optional headlamp illumination feature has been added, and has been selected
for operation when arming, as an added convenience, the system will turn on the
headlights when the system is armed.

ARMING THE SYSTEM - PASSIVE ( AUTOMATIC )
1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, and close and lock all doors, hood lid, and trunk lid.
þ The dash mounted LED begins to flash rapidly, indicating 30 second passive
arming has begun.
2. Opening any protected entry point during the 30 second passive arming cycle will immedi-
ately suspend automatic arming, and the 30 second passive arming cycle will re start when
all doors are closed. At the end of the passive arming cycle:
þ The dash mounted LED begins to flash slowly.
þ Parking Lights flash one time.
þ Siren sounds one chirp
If the siren did not sound when arming, then the chirps have been turned
off, and you should refer to the section titled “ELIMINATING THE ARM /
DISARM CHIRPS“ in this manual.
o Doors Lock - Optional
Door locking during passive arming is a selectable feature.The alarm can
be programmed to allow the doors to lock only when arming using the
keychain transmitter, and they will not automatically lock during passive
arming.
PROTECTION WHILE THE SYSTEM IS ARMED
þ Opening any protected door, hood, or trunk lid will cause the alarm to immediately
sound.The alarm will continue to sound for 30 seconds, then stop and continue to
monitor all protected entry points. If the thief left a door opened, the alarm will sound
for six 30 second cycles, remain armed and ignore that triggered zone.
þ Whenever the system is armed, the red dash mounted LED indicator will slowly flash.
This serves as a visual deterrent to the potential thief. The LED is a very low current
bulb, and will not cause the vehicle’s battery to drain, even when left unattended for
extended periods.
þ Whenever the system is triggered, the vehicle’s parking lights will flash for the full 30
second alarm cycle, attracting visual attention to the vehicle.
þ Optional - Whenever the system is armed, the vehicle’s starting circuit will be by-
passed. If the thief should choose to ignore the siren, the vehicle can not be started.
þ Any mild impact to the vehicle’s glass will cause the alarm to sound a short series of
warning tones.
þ Any strong impact to the vehicle’s glass will cause the alarm to trigger for the full 30
second alarm cycle.
NOTE: If the optional interior illumination circuit was installed, the interior light will flash as
well for the full 30 second alarm cycle.
DISARMING THE SYSTEM
NOTE:If the optional 2 step door unlock circuit is installed, when the unlock transmitter button
is activated, the drivers door only will unlock, pressing the unlock button a second time
will cause all doors to unlock.
NOTE: If your transmitter has been configured with single button Lock/Unlock as shown, to
activate the all door unlock feature operate the Lock/Unlock button a second time
within 3 seconds of the first unlock command.
