AMX18 Immobilizer Owners Manual

Your AMX18 Immobilizer includes two coded keys. Keep only one coded key on your key chain at a time. The second coded key can be used as a spare, or for a second driver with their own set of keys.

Up to four Prime keys can be added to your AMX18 Immobilizer. Additional keys can be purchased from any authorized Prime dealer, or by calling Prime Security toll-free at 1-800-253-0334 (within the U.S.) or 1-847-215-2233.

Operating Your AMX18 Immobilizer

Activation

1. Turn the ignition key to the “OFF” position. The LED status indicator in the under dash receptacle will flash in a slow, steady pulse to indicate the system is arming.

2. After 30 seconds, the LED will flash in a short, steady pulse to indicate the system is armed and the engine cannot be started.

Deactivation

1. Before attempting to start the engine, insert and remove the coded key into the under dash receptacle. The LED will begin to flash in a slow, steady pulse to indicate the system is deactivated.

2. Within 30 seconds, you can start the engine.

Valet Switch

The valet switch is a small, hidden toggle switch that allows you to place your Immobilizer into Valet Mode to prevent automatic arming and immobilization of the engine. You should put the Immobilizer into Valet Mode when your car is being serviced by mechanics, car wash personnel or driven by valet attendants. In the event of a lost or stolen coded key, you can also use the Valet Mode to override the system to allow you to start the engine. While in Valet Mode, the engine immobilization circuits will be bypassed.

NOTE: Be sure to ask your dealer to show you where the valet switch is located.

To Activate Valet Mode.

1. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position.

2. Flick the valet switch to the “ON” position.

3. Turn the ignition key “OFF.” The LED will turn on solid red to indicate the system is in Valet Mode.

To Deactivate Valet Mode

1. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position.

2. Flick the valet switch to the “OFF” position.

3. Turn the ignition key “OFF.” The LED will turn off and then begin to flash in a slow, steady pulse to indicate the system is arming.

Optional Horn Honk Output

While the system is activated (armed), if someone attempts to start the engine without deactivating the Immobilizer first, the vehicle horn will pulse on and off to attract attention to the vehicle. (This feature may require additional parts and labor.)
