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 Factory (OEM) transmitter one
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.

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.

PASSIVE 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 to 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.

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. Optional­whenever 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 pre-detect stage of the shock sensor to emit
a few short series of warning tones from the siren.

DISARMING THE SYSTEM:

As you approach the vehicle, press and release the UNLOCK button on your
Factory (OEM) transmitter. The parking lights will flash 2 times, the siren will
chirp 2 times, and the dash mounted LED will turn off.

NOTE: If the passive arming mode was selected at time of installation, the
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.

The number of flashes identifies the triggered zone. For additional
information, refer to INTRUSION WARNING SIGNALS found later in this
manual.

INTRUSION WARNING SIGNAL:

This system will inform you if an intrusion attempt has occurred while you
were away from the vehicle. Upon disarm, the siren will chirp 4 times and the
parking lights will flash 3 times. Enter the vehicle and before turning on the
ignition switch, observe the LED flash pattern.

If the LED flashes 2 times...pause, 2 times...pause etc., then an intrusion
attempt was made to open the hood, trunk, or by an accessory triggering
device. Check the vehicle for indications of forced entry to these openings.

If the LED flashes 3 times...pause, 3 times...pause etc., then an intrusion
attempt was made to the vehicle doors. Check all doors for indications of
forced entry.
