; The dash mounted LED begins to flash slowly. ; Parking Lights flash one time. ; Siren and or Horn sounds one chirp.
If the siren/horn 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 "chirped" three times, sometime after arming, the exclusive delayed dome light learn circuit has been programmed and the system detected a open entry point after the learned delay expired. Again, closing the hood, trunk, or doors will correct the problem and you do not need to disarm the system to make the correction. If the siren/horn did not sound when arming, then the chirps have been turned off, and you should refer to the section titled “ ELIMINA TING THE ARM / DISARM CHIRPS “ in this manual.

PROTECTION WHILE THE SYSTEM IS ARMED
; 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.
; Whenever the system is armed, the 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.
; 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.
; Whenever the system is armed, the vehicle’s starting circuit will be bypassed. If the
thief should choose to ignore the siren/horn, the vehicle can not be started.
; Any strong impact to the vehicle’s glass will cause the alarm to trigger for the full 30
second alarm cycle.
Any mild impact to the vehicle's glass will cause the alarm to sound a short series of
warning tones.
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.
1. As you approach the vehicle, press and release the DISARM button on the keychain
transmitter.
; Parking Lights flash two times.
If the parking lights flashed three times, then the alarm was triggered in your absence. Before turning the key on, examine the LED to identify which zone was triggered.
; Siren / Horn sounds two chirps.
If the siren/horn sounds 4 chirps, then the alarm was triggered in your absence. Before turning the key on, examine the LED and refer to the INTRUSION WARN­ING SIGNALS section of this manual to identify which zone was triggered. If the siren/horn did not sound when disarming, then the chirps have been turned off, and you should refer to the section titled “ ELIMINATING THE ARM / DISARM CHIRPS “ in this manual.
Doors Unlock - Optional 2 Step Doors Unlock - Optional Entry Illumination Available Option
Note: If the optional entry illumination circuit was added, when the system is disarmed, the
interior light will turn on for 30 seconds, or until the ignition switch is turned on.
WHILE THE SYSTEM IS SOUNDING
If during a triggered state, you wish to shut off the siren without disarming your security system, simply press and release any transmitter button other than the disarm button. This action will turn off the siren yet leave the vehicle fully armed and protected. This feature is particularly useful if you are aware of children playing near your vehicle that may acci­dently trigger your security system. In this case you can cancel the siren sounding without disarming your alarm.

INTRUSION WARNING SIGNALS
This system will inform you if an intrusion attempt has occurred while you were away from the vehicle. If an intrusion attempt has occurred, the siren/horn will chirp 4 times and the parking lights will flash 3 times when disarming the system. Enter the vehicle, and observe the dash mounted LED to identify which zone was triggered.
n If the LED is flashing one time...pause...one time...pause...etc., then an
intrusion attempt was made to the shock sensor, or an accessory triggering device that may have been added to the system.
o If the LED is flashing two times...pause...two times...pause...etc., then an
intrusion attempt was made to a hood or trunk pin switch that was added to the system, or to a light activated entry point if the alarm was installed using the voltage sensing feature.
p If the LED is flashing three times...pause...three times...pause...etc., then an
intrusion attempt was made through one of the vehicle’s doors. These intrusion warning indicators are stored in the system’s memory, and will only be erased when the ignition key is turned on.
PUSHBUTTON LED/V ALET/OVERRIDE/PROGRAMMING SWITCH: (PBLED)
The PBLED switch allows you to temporarily bypass all alarm functions, eliminating the need to hand your transmitter to parking attendants or garage mechanics. When the sys­tem is in valet mode, all alarm functions are bypassed, however the remote panic feature

and remote door locks will remain operational. T o use the valet mode, the system must first be disarmed either by using your keychain transmitter, or by activating your personalized manual override code.
1. Enter the vehicle, and turn the ignition key to the on position.
2. Press and hold the PBLED switch until the LED turns on solid. The system will remain in the valet mode.
3. To return to normal operation, press and release the PBLED switch any time the ignition is on.
Note: Always remember to return the vehicle to the valet off position. This will ensure that
the vehicle remains protected at all times.
MANUALL Y OVERRIDING YOUR SYSTEM: USING THE PBLED OVERRIDE SWITCH
Y our Security System can be disarmed without the use of the keychain transmitter. This is necessary , since you will need the ability to operate your vehicle if the transmitter is lost or its battery fails. If your system has been selected for Valet Switch manual override as indicated on the last page of this manual, to bypass the alarm system;
1. Open the vehicle door. The alarm will sound.
2. Turn the ignition key to the on position.
3. Within 5 seconds, press and release the PBLED override switch. The alarm system will stop sounding and enter the (bypassed) mode. Y ou can now start and operate the vehicle normally . Typically this override mode is used only if the transmitter has become inoperative.
Programming Your Custom Override Code:
Unlike override switches easily found, and defeated, this security system allows the consumer to program a personal override code, offering a higher level of security . To take advantage of this option, programmable feature # 10 must be selected for the Custom Code Option. Consult your installation center for programming details. The system comes from the factory with a pre-programmed override code of 11. To change this default override code, do the following:
1. Disarm the system by use of the transmitter, or by use of the emergency override sequence. Turn the ignition switch to the on position.
2. Within 10 seconds, press and release the PBLED switch, 3 times.
3. Within 10 seconds turn the ignition switch off, on, off, on, off, on.
4. Within 10 seconds, begin to enter your chosen 10ths digit by pressing and releasing
5. Within 10 seconds of the last entered 10ths digit, turn the ignition switch off then on.
6. Within 10 seconds, begin to enter your chosen units digit by pressing and releasing the
7. Finish by turning the ignition switch to the off position.
If the new code was accepted, the unit will report back the newly entered code, by flashing the LED, first indicating the 10ths digit, pause and then the units digit. The unit will report the new code three times with a one second pause between each code, then the system will begin arming. If the LED flash pattern reports the previously stored code, the new code was not entered correctly . Please repeat steps 1 through 7 above considering the following.
Note: Acceptable digits 10ths or units are 1 through 9. The unit will not recognize a 0 Note: If 15 seconds of inactivity expire, or if the ignition switch is turned off for more

then 5 seconds during any of the above steps, the unit will revert back to the last successfully stored code.
To Change the code from the factory pre-assigned code of 11 to “52” you would do the following:
1. Disarm the system by use of the transmitter, or by use of the emergency override sequence.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the on position.
3. Within 10 seconds, press and release the PBLED switch, 3 times.
4. Within 10 seconds turn the ignition switch off, on, off, on, off, on.
(The siren or horn will beep and the lights will flash one time.)
5. Within 10 seconds, begin to press and release the PBLED switch to set the tenths digit. (As per the example, press and release 5 times to set the tenths digit to 5)
6. Within 10 seconds of the last press of the pushbutton, turn the ignition switch off then on.
7. Within 10 seconds, begin to press and release the PBLED switch to set the units digit. (As per the example, press and release 2 times to set the units digit to 2).
8. Turn the ignition switch to the off position. Immediately observe the LED flash pattern.
Y ou will note the LED flashing five times, pause, and then flash two times, pause. This pattern will be repeated three times indicating the new code (52) has been accepted and stored in memory. Note: If after step 7, the LED flashes a code other than what was just entered, this
indicates that the code has not been changed. You will have to repeat steps 1
through 7 above being certain to note the following: Acceptable digits 10ths or units are 1 through 9. The unit will not recognize a 0 (Zero), or no digit entered in any place, units or tenths. Note: If 15 seconds of inactivity expire, or if the ignition switch is turned off for more then 5 seconds
during any of the above steps, the unit will revert back to the last successfully stored code.
MANUALL Y OVERRIDING YOUR SYSTEM: USING THE CUSTOM CODE OVERRIDE
Assuming the override code programmed has not been changed, and the default override code of 1 1 is in the system's memory .
1) Enter the vehicle and turn the ignition switch to the on position. Note: The siren will sound.
2) Within 5 seconds, press and release the PBLED switch 1 time.
3) Within 5 seconds, turn the ignition switch off then on.
4) Within 5 seconds, press and release the PBLED switch 1 time.
5) Turn the ignition switch off then on and start the vehicle. Note: If you have changed the programmed override code then substitute your new code
tenths for step 2 above, and units for step 5 above.
ELIMINATING THE NORMAL ARM/DISARM CHIRPS
Y ou can selectively eliminate the normal arm & disarm chirp s by holding the transmitter button slightly longer when arming or disarming. This will prevent the siren chirps for one arm or disarm cycle. If you find this inconvenient and wish to eliminate these chirps permanently,
1. Turn the ignition switch 'on" then 'off".
3. Within 10 seconds of turning off the ignition, press and release the PBLED switch 3 times.
4. If the chirps were on before you started, the siren will emit 2 short chirps indicating that
the chirps are now off. If the chirps were off before you started, the siren will emit one short chirp indicating that the chirps are now on.
