Using Your Sabre Security System
2-Button/3-Channel Remote Control
The 2-button/3-channel remote control is a miniature radio transmitter with a range
of up to 100 feet. Obstructions, interference or a weak battery will reduce the range.
Your 2-button/3-channel remote control is the key to your security system. It is an
ingenious user-friendly device that transmits three distinct and unique digital codes.
Use it to arm or disarm the system, lock or unlock the doors, activate its panic
feature or control options such as headlight activation or remote trunk release.

Press button I once. You will hear two chirps and the parking
lights will flash twice. The dashboard LED will flash repeatedly and the car doors will automatically lock (some vehicles
require an optional power lock adaptor). Any attempt to break
into the vehicle will immediately disable the starter, sound the
siren and flash the parking lights.
Press button I again. One chirp and one flash of the parking
lights will confirm disarming. In addition, the car doors will
automatically unlock (some vehicles require an optional
power lock adapand the interior lights will turn on and stay on
for 30 seconds or until you start the engine.
Press button II to activate another remote controlled option,
such as a remote trunk release (be sure to disarm the Sabre before remotely releasing the trunk latch).
Simultaneously press buttons I+II (or button III of the optional
4-channel remote). The system will arm or disarm with all the
indications noted above
except
the chirp acknowledgements.
Press button I for 3 seconds. The lights will flash repeatedly
and the siren will blare for 30 seconds or until you press button I again to turn it off.
AntiScan
Car thieves use electronic scanners that rapidly transmit one remote control code
after another to defeat ordinary alarms. AntiScan prevents scanners from
disarming your system.

AutoArming™
If you forget to remotely arm, the system will arm itself automatically (
30 seconds after the vehicle doors are closed. If you re-open any door(s) within the
30-second countdown, AutoArming will restart from the beginning once all doors
are closed. This ensures you’ll never accidentally leave your vehicle unprotected.
AutoArming Enable/Disable: If you prefer, you may deactivate or reactivate
AutoArming. To do, see User-Selectable Features on pages 5-6.
AutoArm & Lock: To ensure you can’t accidently lock your keys inside the
car, the system is factory-set not to lock the doors upon AutoArming. To
change this setting, see User-Selectable Features on pages 5-6.
NOTE: To prevent AutoArming of the system when fueling the vehicle, either
enable valet mode or leave one of the doors open (the system AutoArms 30
seconds after all doors are closed).
“passively”

Protected Valet Mode
Whenever the alarm is put in protected valet mode, all of the alarm functions are
bypassed, preventing AutoArming and accidental activation of the alarm. Use the
valet mode whenever your car is either to be serviced by mechanics, handed over
to car wash personnel or driven by valet attendants. It also comes in handy if you
ever lose your remote control or its battery dies. If you have the AutoArming
feature set on, when fueling your car, either put the alarm in valet mode or leave
the driver’s door open (the system will not AutoArm if a door is open). Be sure to
ask your installer to show you where the valet switch is located.
To turn ON the protected valet mode:
1. Insert your ignition key and turn it to the “ON” position, or start the engine.
2. Flip the valet switch.
3. The LED will glow continuously to indicate that the alarm is in valet mode.
To turn OFF the protected valet mode:
1. Insert your ignition key and turn it to the “ON” position, or start the engine.
2. Flip the valet switch.
3. The LED will turn off to indicate that the alarm is in normal operating mode.
Keyless Entry in Valet Mode: Even if valet mode “on”, you will still be able
to remotely control the convenience features. For instance, simply press button
I as if you were arming or disarming and your car’s doors will lock or unlock.
You can also use button II to activate an option.
