LOJACK EARLY WARNING COMPONENTS
Your Early Warning feature and your LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery
System work together to detect whether your vehicle has been
operated without your permission.
LoJack
Your LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System was installed in a hidden location within
your vehicle. Should you determine that your vehicle has been stolen, contact the
police first and complete a standard stolen vehicle report. The police will then
activate LoJack. LoJack sends a signal that helps police track and recover your
stolen vehicle.After you contact the police,call a LoJack customer service representative at 1-800-4-LOJACK. LoJack will provide you with information on theft and
insurance company reporting requirements that will save you time.
Early Warning Key Pass
Two Early Warning Key Passes were provided to you with the purchase of your
system. Both Key Passes are uniquely coded to your Early Warning System.
Your Key Passes are not interchangeable with any other Early Warning System.
To purchase an additional Key Pass for another vehicle user, call 1-800-4-LOJACK
(1-800-456-5225) or fill out the easy-to-use order form provided at the back of
this Owner’s Manual.
Motion Sensor
Your system contains a motion sensor,which has been installed in a hidden location
within your vehicle. The motion sensor monitors vehicle movement and detects
the presence of the Early Warning Key Pass, ensuring an authorized user is driving
the vehicle. Should the motion sensor detect that your vehicle is moving without
the presence of your Early Warning Key Pass, Early Warning notification is sent to you.

LOJACK EARLY WARNING RECOVERY SYSTEM OVERVIEW
OPERATION
LoJack Early Warning was designed to be very easy to operate. In fact, it works
automatically as long as you have the Early Warning Key Pass with you when the
vehicle is being driven.There are no buttons to push or alarms to set. To ensure
optimum performance of LoJack Early Warning, replace the battery in the
Key Pass twice a year. See pages 11 and 12 for battery replacement instructions.
Driving Without the Early Warning Key Pass
• Should your vehicle be moved without the presence of your Key Pass, Early Warning
notification will be made to the contact numbers or email addresses you have
provided.Should there be no answer or a busy signal, LoJack will attempt re-notification
for up to 24 hours.
• Early Warning notification will not occur if the vehicle is not moved or driven some
distance. Getting in and out of your vehicle or backing out of your driveway without the
Key Pass will not generate notification.
• To avoid false notification, your system goes through a number of checks and balances
before it initiates the notification process. LoJack Early Warning technology works to
determine that the vehicle is moving without the presence of the Early Warning Key Pass.
• Typically, you are notified within 15-30 minutes after your vehicle begins moving
without the Key Pass and no more than 1 hour.However, this time may vary.
Resetting Your Early Warning Feature
• Early Warning will only recognize 1 unauthorized movement within a 2-hour period,
then it will shut off 8 hours from the first unauthorized movement.
• To reset your Early Warning feature, you simply need to drive for at least five minutes
with the Key Pass present.
• Police operation of LoJack is not affected by the shut off of your Early Warning feature.
Even if the Early Warning feature is shut off, the filing of a stolen vehicle report to police
will result in the activation of LoJack.
