Congratulations! You have just purchased the Bandido2, a full-featured vehicle
security system with anti-carjacking manufactured by Avital Technologies, Inc.
To fully benefit from the capabilities of your system, we encourage you to
read the Owner’s Manual thoroughly before using the system. If you have any
problems or questions regarding your system, consult the dealer from whom
you purchased this product. To locate an authorized Avital dealer, contact
Avital Technologies directly at 1-800-253-0334 (toll-free within the U.S. only)
or 1-847-215-2233. In Mexico, dial 525-605-8541.
Lifetime Warranty
Avital guarantees the operation of your Bandido2 control unit and remote
controls for as long as you own your car. (Please refer to your Lifetime Limited
Warranty Card for complete information.) Make sure that you receive your
warranty card from your dealer, complete the required information and mail
the registration portion to Avital Technologies. You should retain the top
portion of the warranty card for your records.
Anti-Carjacking
The Anti-Carjacking feature of the alarm system is designed for personal
protection as well as the recovery of your carjacked vehicle. In the event of a
carjacking attempt, do not resist. If your vehicle is carjacked, the Bandido2 will
automatically activate the siren, flash the lights and immobilize the vehicle's
ignition and starter.
Carefully read the following pages for specific operating instructions.
Remote Controls
Included with your system are two AviGlo™3-button/6-channel remote
controls. Once exposed to light, the AviGlo remote control buttons will glow,
making the buttons visible in the dark.
The remote control (remote) is a miniature transmitter powered by a small +12
volt battery. Obstructions, electrical or radio interference, weather conditions,
window tint or a weak battery can reduce this range. Your remote is the key to
your system and can be used to arm and disarm your alarm, lock and unlock
your doors, and control optional accessories such as a remote engine starter,
window roll-up and garage door opener.

Bandido
Owner's Manual
The Bandido2 system can accept up to four Avital remote controls. Additional
remote controls and remote control batteries can be purchased from any
authorized Avital dealer, or by calling Avital Technologies at 1-800-253-0334
(toll-free within the U.S. only) or 1-847-215-2233. In Mexico, dial
525-605-8541.
Electronic Scan Prevention (ESP)
Your system also includes ESP, which blocks electronic scanner codes
preventing unauthorized operation of your system.
Instant Remote Control Code Deletion
In the event of a lost or stolen remote control, all remote controls can be
erased from the system’s memory preventing unauthorized system operation.
(See the "Programming Table for Remote Controls" on page 10.)
One-Step Remote Control Code Learning
The Bandido2 system allows you to add new remote controls in one step. (See
the "Programming Table for Remote Controls" on page 10.)
Valet Switch
The valet switch is a small hidden toggle switch which allows you to control all
of the system’s programmable features. (See "User-Programmable Features" on
page 9.) This switch can only be controlled with the use of your ignition key.
NOTE: Be sure to have your dealer show you where the valet switch is
located.
