Using Your System
Arming the Alarm
Lock the vehicle using your OEM remote control or press and release
if using the 7643A remote control.
The doors lock, lights flash and the horn/siren sounds once. Dome
light turns off, starter kill becomes active, and the status LED* begins
flashing.
If any trigger inputs are active when arming, the horn/siren sounds a
second time as a notification, both the onboard impact sensor and the
active input are bypassed. The open zone is bypassed until corrected
and the impact sensor is bypassed until the open zone is corrected or
for a maximum of 4 minutes. While bypassed, the active input is indicated by the status LED which, flashes for 1 minute after arming (see
"Table of Zones").
* The combined Status LED/Valet Button is generally located somewhere beneath the dashboard.
When armed, your vehicle is protected as follows:
s Light impacts to the vehicle flashes the lights and sounds the horn/
siren in rapid succession for a few seconds, while heavy impacts
trigger a full alarm output of light flashes and horn/siren sounds
for 30 seconds.
s Turning the ignition on or opening an entry point will trigger a full
alarm output.
s If equipped, the starter interrupt prevents the vehicle’s starter from
crank ing.

Disarming the Alarm
Unlock the vehicle using your OEM remote control or press and release
if using the 7643A remote control.

If the system has been triggered, the horn/siren sounds four times, or
five times if the sensor is bypassed, the status LED continues to flash to
indicate triggered inputs (see "Table of Zones"). Turn on the ignition to
reset the LED.
Note: The LED does not report a Pre-trigger.

Disarming without a Remote Control
To disarm the system when the remote control is not available use the
following steps:
1. Turn the ignition to the run position.
2. Press and release the Valet button* once within 10 seconds.

See Valet Mode section next for entry procedure.
Valet Mode
Valet mode disables the system so it can’t arm when passively arming
or when using the remote control to lock the doors.
To enter and exit Valet mode use the following steps.
1. Turn the ignition to the run position and then off
2. Press and release the Valet button* within 10 seconds
The status LED turns on when Valet mode is entered (or ignition is off)
and off when exited (or ignition is on).
Note: When valet mode is enabled, the convenience features of your
system are still operational but the security features of your system are
not.
* The combined Status LED/Valet Button is generally located somewhere beneath the dashboard.

Additional Features
Nuisance Prevention Circuitry (NPC)
NPC monitors all alarm zones and, if any are triggered three times
within an hour, bypasses them until corrected. If a point of entry (trunk,
hood, door) is left open following a forced entry, it is bypassed. It becomes active again only after being closed.
Bypassed sensors automatically reset after one hour, and after
the vehicle is driven. Disarming then re-arming the system does not reset
bypassed sensors.
Power Save
When the vehicle is parked for an extended period, the system modifies its LED output to reduce power consumption. If Armed, the flashing
is reduced after 24 hours. When Valet mode is On, the LED turns off
after one hour and resets each time the ignition is turned off.
Optional Features
Passive Arming
Exit the vehicle, after the doors are closed the passive arming countdown begins. The LED flashes quickly and upon reaching 50 seconds
the siren then chirps once. At 60 seconds the system arms itself.
Note: You can re-enter the vehicle anytime before the system arms, and
after closing the entry point passive arming resumes.

Press and hold AUX for two seconds to open the trunk/rear hatch.
