Arming the Security System
To ar m the system, exit the vehicle, close all doors, then press* the ARM button. The siren** will “chirp” twice† and the parking lights will flash twice, indicating the system is armed. The doors will also lock at this time (if equipped and connected). The status indicator (red warning light on the dash) will blink steadily, once per second.
Pre-arm Mode
If the siren chirps and the parking lights flash only once, this indicates that the vehicle courtesy light is on, or that an entrance is not closed securely. Check to see that doors, hood, and trunk are properly closed. Once all entrances are secured (and the courtesy light is off), the system will chirp / flash again. The system is now fully armed. (If the entrance is not secured within 4 minutes, the system will arm and ignore the unsecured entrance until it is closed.)
Disarming the Security System
To disar m the system, press the DISARM button. The siren will chirp and the parking lights will flash once, and the doors will unlock. The courtesy light will turn on for 1 minute, or until the vehicle is started.
Attempted Intrusion Identification
If the siren chirps four times when disarming, this indicates that the system was triggered in your absence. The status indicator will also flash rapidly. Perform the following operation to determine the protected zone that triggered the system:
After disarming, press the emergency override button. The siren will chirp to indicate the cause of the alarm trigger:
1 chirp IT-s Interior Theft Sensor 2 chirps Door 3 chirps Hood 4 chirps Trunk/Optional Sensors 5 chirps Ignition was turned on

The PowerCodeTM performs a variety of automatic functions to enhance security and comfort. Some of these features are programmable at the time of installation. Please see your installer for further details.
Illuminated Entry
When the alarm system is disarmed, the vehicle courtesy lights will turn on for 1 minute, or until the vehicle is started or the system is re-armed.
Illuminated Exit
When removing the key from the ignition, the vehicle courtesy lights will turn on for 1 minute, or until the PowerCodeTM is armed.
Automatic Arming
The Power CodeTM will arm automatically 1 minute after the key is removed from the ignition. This feature can be temporarily disabled by placing the system into Valet mode.

When Your Security System is Triggered
The PowerCode PC 4400TM will trigger if one of the following events occurs while the system is armed:
• Any protected entrance is opened
• The vehicle ignition is turned on
• The vehicle is jolted hard enough to signal the impact detector
Once the alarm is triggered, the siren (or horn) sounds and the vehicle parking lights flash for 30 seconds. The system will then re­arm, awaiting the next intrusion attempt. To stop the siren while keeping the alarm armed and doors locked, press the ARM button while the system is triggered.
The Status Indicator is a high-intensity red light mounted in a visible location on the vehicle dashboard. This red light gives a visual indication of the alarm system’s state of operation. Note the chart below:

Follow the instructions below to change the remote transmitter battery.
1.Insert the edge of a coin into the slot at the side of the remote control. Twist the coin to pry the remote control halves apar t.
2.Remove the old batteries and replace with new ones. Be sure to observe the (+) and (-) signs in the battery compartment.
3.Carefully snap the case halves back together, then test the remote control.
