Your System has many features and available options some of which are
selected at time of installation. Consult your installing dealer for options that
may have been installed and are not listed.

ARMING THE SYSTEM:

1. Turn the engine OFF, exit the vehicle, and close all doors, hood and trunk.

2. Press and release the LOCK button of your key chain transmitter 1 time.
The parking lights will flash once, the siren will chirp once, and the dash

mounted LED will begin to flash slowly confirming the system is armed. If you
have the optional door lock/unlock circuit installed, the doors will lock.

NOTE: If the siren/horn sounds 3 chirps, then you have left a door, trunk, or
hood lid ajar. Simply close the opened entry point to provide full protection.

If the siren "chirped" 3 times, sometime after arming, the delayed dome light
learn circuit has been programmed and the system detected a open entry
point after the learned delay expired. Again, closing the hood, trunk, or doors
will correct the problem and you do not need to disarm the system to make
the correction. If the siren/horn did not sound when arming, then the chirps
have been turned OFFand you should refer to the section titled "ELIMINATING
THE ARM/DISARM CHIRPS" in this manual.

SILENT ARMING:

1. Turn the engine OFF, exit the vehicle, and close all doors, hood and trunk.

2. Press and release the ARM and DiSARM buttons of your keychain
transmitter simultaneously.

The parking lights will flash once, and the dash mounted LED will begin to
flash slowly confirming the system is armed. The siren will not chirp. If you
have the optional door lock/unlock circuit installed, the doors will lock.

NOTE: If the siren/horn sounds 3 chirps, then you have left a door, trunk, or
hood lid ajar. Simply close the opened entry point to provide full protection. If
the siren "chirped" 3 times, sometime after arming, the exclusive delayed
dome light learn circuit has been programmed and the system detected a
open entry point after the learned delay expired. Again, closing the hood,
trunk, or doors will correct the problem and you do not need to disarm the
system to make the correction. If the siren/horn did not sound when arming,
then the chirps have been turned off and you should refer to the section titled
"ELIMINATING THE ARM/DISARM CHIRPS" in this manual.

P ASSIVE ARMING THE SYSTEM:

If the passive arming feature has been selected:
Turn the engine OFF, exit the vehicle, and close all doors, hood and trunk.
The dash mounted LED will begin to flash rapidly indicating that the 30

second passive arming timer has begun. If the LED does not begin to flash
rapidly, then you have left a door, hood, or trunk ajar. Closing this entry point
will allow the arming cycle will begin. If any entry point is opened during the
30 second arming cycle, arming will be suspended. When all entry points are
closed, the arming cycle will begin again.

At the end of the 30 seconds, the parking lights will flash once, the siren will
chirp once, and the dash mounted LED will begin to flash slowly confirming
the system is armed. If the siren did not sound when arming, then the chirps
have been turned off. Refer to the section on "Eliminating the Arm/Disarm
Chirps" shown later in this manual. Passive door locking is a selectable
feature. If you have the optional door lock/unlock circuit installed, the doors
may or may not lock passively depending upon the setup during installation.

PROTECTION WHILE THE SYSTEM IS ARMED:

Opening any protected entry point, hood, trunk, or doors will cause the alarm
to trigger immediately. The siren will sound and the parking lights will flash
for 30 seconds, then stop and continue to monitor all protected entry points. If
the thief left the door opened, the system will sound for six 30 second cycles
then shut down, isolate the triggered zone and continue to protect all other
zones.

Whenever the system is armed, the dash mounted LED will slowly flash. This
serves as a visual deterrent to a potential thief. This LED is a very low current
light emitting diode, and will not cause the battery to drain even if left
unattended for long periods of time.

Whenever the system is triggered, the vehicle's parking lights will flash for the
full siren sounding period. Optional - whenever the system is triggered, the
interior courtesy light will flash for the full siren sounding period.

Whenever the system is armed, the vehicle starter circuit is disabled, and the
vehicle will not start with the ignition key.

Whenever the system is armed, any strong impact to the vehicle will cause
the shock sensor to trigger the alarm. Any lesser impact will cause the pre­detect stage of the shock sensor to emit a few short series of warning tones
from the siren.

times, and the dash mounted LED will turn off.

dash mounted LED will start flashing rapidly indicating that the system is
rearming. Opening any door will suspend the automatic arming.

If the parking lights flashed 3 times, and the siren chirps 4 times, this
indicates that the alarm system was triggered during your absence. Before
turning on the ignition key, examine the dash mounted LED's flash pattern.
