Operating Instructions

n

Remote Control — Each of the pair of remote controls is a miniature

radio transmitter powered by a +12 volt battery with a typical range of up to 100 feet. Obstructions, radio interference, cellular transmissions or a weak remote control battery may reduce the range or interrupt transmission. (If the system does not immediately respond, release and press the button again. This works better than holding the button down.) The second remote can be used by a second driver, or kept as a spare.

Additional remote controls or batteries can be purchased from any authorized Avital Dealer, or by calling Avital Technologies toll-free at 1-800-253-0334 (within the U.S.) or 1-847-215-2233.

n

To Arm The System — Your alarm system can be programmed for

active or passive arming. Active arming means the system can only be armed with the remote control. Passive arming means the system will automatically arm itself. See the "Programming Table for system Features" on page 9.

Valet Switch — The valet switch is a small hidden toggle switch which

can only be controlled with the use of your ignition key. This switch allows you to program many features of the alarm system. In the event of a lost or stolen remote control, you can activate the Protected Valet Mode to bypass (shut off) the alarm functions.

BE SURE TO ASK YOUR DEALER TO SHOW YOU WHERE THE VALET SWITCH IS LO CATED.

n

Protected Valet Mode — You can place your system in Protected

Valet Mode when your car is being serviced by mechanics, car wash personnel or driven by valet attendants, and still maintain possession of your remote control(s). While in Protected Valet Mode, all alarm functions are bypassed to prevent undesired or accidental arming.

n To Turn on Pro tected Valet Mode

Keyless Entry in Valet — While the system is in Protected Valet

Mode, you can still use your remote control to lock and unlock the doors as well as activate any optional accessories such as trunk release or a remote engine starter.

n

User-Programmable Passive Door Lock — The system will not

automatically lock the doors when the system passively arms to prevent the keys and remote from accidentally being locked in the vehicle. If you prefer, you can easily program the system to automatically lock the doors every time the system passively arms. See the "Programming Table for system Features" on page 9.

n

User-Programmable Ignition-Controlled Door Lock/Unlock

— For the ultimate in security and convenience, the system will automatically lock the doors when the ignition key is turned on or when the vehicle is started and the doors will unlock when the ignition is turned off. This feature can be programmed on or off. See the “Programming Table for system Features” on page 9.

n

Remote Panic with Safety Locks™ — Press and hold button #1

How to Interpret the Chirps and Parking Light Flashes 

When you press the remote control buttons, the system will respond with chirps (unless you have the chirp muting feature turned on or the system is in Valet Mode) and flashes of the parking lights to indicate the system status. An explanation of these chirp/flash acknowledgments follows:

Number of chirps and flashes Explanation

1 Disarming of the system 2 Arming of the system

2 and then 4 Armed and there is a sensor malfunction (automatically bypassed)

3 Disarmed and there was an intrusion attempt 4 Armed and there is a trigger malfunction (automatically bypassed)

n

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 to prevent unauthorized system operation. See the "Programming Table for Remote Controls" on pages 10 and 11.

n

One-Step Remote Control Code Learning — The system can be

programmed to accept as many as four separate remote controls. See the "Programming Table for Remote Controls" on pages 10 and 11.

n

Alarm State Memory — If your vehicle's battery is disconnected and

later reconnected, the system will automatically return to its last state prior to disconnection, whether it was armed, disarmed or in Protected Valet Mode. For example, if a mechanic disconnects the battery while the system is disarmed or in Protected Valet Mode, he won’t trigger the system when he reconnects the battery. If a thief interrrupts power while the system is armed, and reconnects it, the system will instantly sound, the parking lights will flash and the starter will be disabled.
