illuminatin, take advantage of this feature to look in and around your vehicle
5) While in parking garage structures, always attempt to back-in to your parking
space. This will provide a less visually encumbered and quicker way to exit your
parking space if you are being pursued. This will also allow you to better see the
flashing exterior light confirmation.
6) While driving or stopped at an intersection, if your vehicle is bumped in the rear
by another vehicle or the vehicle behind you is flashing its headlights, consider the
occupants of the vehicle hostile and immediately drive to the nearest police or fire
station. "Bump and run" thieves and carjackers are becoming an increasingly severe
problem.
7)While parked and sitting in your vehicle, always keep your doors locked , windows
rolled up and engine idling if possible. If you are approached by a potential carjacker,
use your Crime Guard transmitter to Panic the system to scare the attacker away.
8) Control access of your keys. Never leave your house and other keys with a valet
parking attendant or mechanic.
9) After someone else has had access to your vehicle, always verify that your
transmitters still operate your system, and use the Transmitter Verification feature to
ensure that no additional transmitters have been added.

a growing problem. Now when you leave your vehicle and keys with any individual
for any reason, you will have the peace of mind of knowing that only your transmitters
will operate the alarm and that no other person has coded extra transmitters to steal
your vehicle. For a period of 10 seconds after the vehicle is turned "on", the LED
Status Indicator will flash to indicate the number of transmitters programmed to
operate your security system. For example: two flashes and a pause indicate that only
two transmitters are coded to operate your system. Note: We strongly encourage you
not to leave your Crime Guard transmitter with any unauthorized person.
Transmitter Code JumpingTM: Each time you transmit a code to the security
system, the transmitter and security system will advance to another code to use for the
transmission. The Random Code Encryption Transmitter prevents a thief from using
a "code grabber" device to record and play back a transmission for the purpose of
disarming your security system. Please note that pressing the transmitter's arm /
disarm button many times while it is out of range of the security system can advance
its codes beyond the range of recognition. If this occurs, simply press the arm / disarm
button a few times to synchronize the Random Code Encryption between the
transmitter and the security system.
Operating Two Vehicles From One Transmitter: Your Crime Guard transmitter
is capable of operating multiple vehicles. See your Crime Guard dealer for details.
Prewarn Feature and the Code Learning Programmable Features chirps will still
operate.
9) Remote Temporary Chirp Bypass:
Feature Turned On: This feature will
not work.
Feature Turned Off: Upon arming and disarming the security system, if the small
transmitter button is pressed and released, then the large transmitter button is pressed
and released within 2 seconds, the security system will not have siren chirps for the
arming and disarming confirmation. The siren chirps will be deleted for only that one
arm or disarm operation.
Programming Transmitters
When adding or deleting transmitter codes to operate the security system, follow
this process:
1) Turn "on" the ignition.
2) Within 5 seconds of turning "on" the ignition, press the Easy ValetTM switch 5 times.
The siren will chirp, confirming that for the next 10 seconds the system is ready
to learn a transmitter code. When the first transmitter code is learned all other
be present. If a code is not received within 10 seconds, the learning process will
automatically terminate.

3) The Exterior Lights Stay On 30 Seconds Or 60 Seconds After Disarming:
Feature Turned On: Upon disarming, the exterior lights will stay on for 60 seconds,
illuminating the way to your vehicle.
Feature Turned Off: The exterior lights will stay on for 30 seconds when the system
is disarmed.
4) The Security System Will Automatically Rearm Ninety Seconds After
Disarming:
Feature Turned On: When the transmitter has disarmed the security system, this
feature will rearm the system and lock the doors 90 seconds later, or until a vehicle
door is opened or the ignition is turned on. This feature prevents the system from being
accidentally disarmed if a transmitter button is unknowingly pressed by an object
while in a pocket or purse, or from children playing with the transmitter. Note: When
Automatic Last Door Arming is utilized this feature will work automatically.
5) The Security System Will Also Disarm Upon Trunk Release:
Feature Turned On: When the trunk release feature is utilized, the security system
will also disarm at the same time, chirping the siren twice, unlocking the doors and
turning the exterior lights on for thirty or sixty seconds. Most other vehicle alarms
force you to disarm first and then release the trunk to avoid triggering the alarm.
Arming The System Using The Transmitter
Arming The Security System Using The Transmitter: The security system can
always be armed from the transmitter provided the ignition key is “off”, and the system
is disarmed and not in the Valet Mode. To arm the system, after you exit the vehicle
and close all of the doors, simply
press and release the large transmitter button once,
Instantly the exterior and interior lights will flash once, the siren will chirp once and
the LED Status Indicator will begin to flash confirming that the system is armed.
Further, the doors will lock and the starter interrupt relay will prevent any attempt to
start the vehicle. Your security system is now fully armed, and is ready to respond if
an intrusion attempt is detected.
Arming By-Pass: Upon arming, if any sensor circuit is inoperable, that circuit
will be bypassed. For example, if the trunk is left open, you can still arm the system
normally from the transmitter. The bypassed circuit will automatically be reinstated
for protection 5 seconds after that circuit becomes operative, i.e., the trunk is closed.
When a triggered circuit is in a bypassed state, all other operating circuits will be
protected normally.
Sensor By-Pass: Your Crime Guard system provides you with the convenient
option of temporarily deactivating the auxiliary sensor (see page 21) without affecting
any other trigger circuit. To deactivate the auxiliary sensor, simply press and release
the small left transmitter button within 3 seconds after pressing the large transmitter

transmitter, because all protected entries must be closed prior to the Automatic Last
Door Arming sequence to start. Note: To prevent the system from automatically
arming while the vehicle is being refueled you should put the system in Valet Mode
(page 14), keep your door open or turn on your dome light switch so that the system
thinks your door is still open. We do not recommend leaving your ignition key turned
"on". Note: Passive last door arming does not effect the operation of active arming.

Security System Armed And Triggered
While the security system is armed, the LED Status Indicator will be flashing.
Should any intrusion attempt occur, your system will instantly "trigger". Once
triggered, the security system will respond by:
1) The electronic siren will be activated. Once activated, it will change siren
sounds every 5 seconds to attract more attention to the vehicle.
2) The exterior and interior lights will flash.
3) The doors will relock. This feature is so unique that the security system even
knows when a door is open and, if so, the system waits until the door is closed,
at which time it relocks the doors, so that the thief cannot easily regain entry.
The siren and lights will stay activated for 60 seconds, unless you disarm your
system with the transmitter or place the system in Valet Mode. If all protected entries
are secure at the end of 60 seconds, the system will rearm automatically to protect
against another entry attempt. However, if there is a protected entry still open or a
2) Automatic Last Door Arming.
Feature Turned On: The security system will arm itself automatically when the
vehicle's last door is closed. At the moment the last door is closed the siren will chirp,
the exterior lights will flash once, and the Status LED will flash fast. Thirty seconds
later the siren will chirp once again, the lights will flash, and the Status LED will flash
slow, indicating that the security system is fully armed. If feature #3 is
selected, the doors will also lock at this time. If the negative instant trigger is grounded
at any time during the thirty second countdown (Example: opening the trunk), the
Automatic Last Door Arming feature will be interrupted. When the negative instant
trigger becomes ungrounded, the security system will become fully armed thirty
seconds later. Note: All of the doors and the trunk must have the proper connection
of the control module's wiring. This feature allows unhurried passenger exit and trunk
access, as the Last Door Arming process does not start until the last door or trunk is
closed, and opening any door or the trunk will interrupt the process. You can still, of
course, actively arm the security system with the transmitter at any time.
3) Doors Will Also Lock With Last Door Arming:
Feature Turned On: When the security system passively arms from the Last Door
Arming feature, the doors will also lock if an optional doorlock interface was added.
This will occur when the system becomes fully armed 30 seconds after closing the last
door.

instant triggers bypassed (Port A) or just the prewarn trigger bypassed (Port B). When
using two sensors, the most sensitive of the two sensors will generally be plugged into
Port A. An example of this flexibility would be a sensitive shock sensor plugged into
Port A and a radar sensor plugged into Port B. When the remote sensor bypass feature
is used, the shock sensor will be completely bypassed and the exterior zone of the radar
sensor will also be bypassed. This leaves only the interior zone of the radar sensor
intact, reducing a possible false alarm caused by parking in an area of heavy traffic
or other vibrations, while leaving the radar sensor's interior zone as part of the security
systems protection. The dual auxiliary ports' operation allow extreme flexibility in
designing a custom security system.
If the system is triggered by the sensor plugged into Port A the Zone Violation
feature will flash the LED Status Light four times between pauses. If the system is
triggered by a sensor plugged into Port B the Zone Violation feature will flash the LED
Status Light twice between pauses.
Prewarning Shock Detection Circuit: This circuit requires connection to an
auxiliary detection sensor device. When the sensor is triggered by a light impact or
shock to the vehicle, the security system will respond by chirping the siren 3 times and
locking all of the doors. After this circuit has been triggered 5 times it will
automatically shutdown until the alarm system is rearmed again. This will prevent the
security system from being a nuisance to the general public.

turning on for 30 seconds, except under the following conditions: 1) the lights will turn
off 10 seconds after a door has been opened, or 2) the lights will turn off instantly if
the ignition switch is turned "on". Note: If the system was triggered and reset while
you are away, the disarm confirmation will change to 4 siren chirps, 4 light flashes,
and then the lights will stay on for 30 seconds, to illuminate the way to your vehicle.
The security system will have this response upon disarming until the ignition switch
is turned "on", which clears the unit's memory. Note: Anytime the security system
triggers, the LED Status Light will indicate which zone triggered the system by
flashing one to four times, pausing between flashes. This code will continue to flash,
even after disarming. The system can hold two different violation codes in it's memory,
which is cleared by turning the ignition switch "on".
Your CG 745i vehicle security system offers a very high level of personal safety
and convenience with the advanced features utilized upon disarming. The ability to
unlock the driver's door only prevents a potential attacker from gaining entry into your
vehicle from the other doors, you'll know instantly if your system was triggered while
you were away, and the exterior and interior light illumination allows you a lighted
approach to your vehicle with the ability to examine the interior before entry. If you
wish, your dealer can program the system to turn on the exterior and interior lights for
sixty instead of thirty seconds upon disarming.
Automatic Rearming Feature: Should you unknowingly activate your transmitter,
which results in your system disarming, your Crime Guard system will automatically

Backup Battery
This security system includes a 9 volt alkaline battery and a slide bracket holder
which attaches to the security system control module. The 9 volt battery is all that is
required to provide alternative power to operate the system if the vehicle's battery is
disconnected. A built-in protection circuit will not allow the 9 volt battery to back feed
voltage into the vehicle's electrical system.
While on backup battery power, to conserve the backup battery, the system will not
have some functions - flashing exterior lights and the LED Status Indicator. The siren
will still have full sound output, and all trigger circuits will be active except current
sensing and any optional sensors. The Starter Interrupt, however, will work at all times
from battery backup. Replacement 9 volt alkaline batteries can be purchased
anywhere batteries are sold. We recommend the battery be replaced with another
alkaline battery every 18 months or after the 9 volt battery has operated the alarm on
its own for any length of time. Under the following conditions, a new 9 volt alkaline
battery's life is anticipated to be approximately:
1. 2 days as the only power source to the system while in the armed condition.
2. 25 triggered cycles. A triggered cycle is the 60 second period after the security
system is triggered, in which the siren is sounding. The cycle ends when the
system automatically resets to the armed state.
3. 50 separate transmitter arm and disarm activations.
4. 18 months if the 9 volt battery circuit has not been activated.

Optional Trunk Release And 3rd Channel Output
Optional Trunk Release: If your vehicle is equipped with electric trunk release,
your authorized Crime Guard dealer can configure your system to accomplish trunk
release from your transmitter. To operate this option when equipped, simply press and
hold the small transmitter button on the right for 3 seconds. Your vehicle will respond
by releasing the trunk lid, chirping the siren twice, disarming the system and turning
on your exterior and interior lights for 30 seconds. Note: The trunk release output will
not operate with the ignition switch "on" unless the vehicle's door is open.
If desired, your Crime Guard dealer can program the security system to remain
armed when this feature is used.
Optional 3rd Channel Output: This output's operation is the same as the trunk
release output except for the following items: Press the small transmitter button on the
left for 3 seconds to activate the 3rd channel output. The 3rd channel output will not
operate while the ignition switch is "on", and there is no chirp confirmation. This
output can be used to operate optional equipment such as remote car starters or
window roll-up modules.

feature, the doorlocks, and trunk release; the doors will also lock when the ignition
switch is turned "on" and unlock when it is turned "off"'. Note: While the security
system is in the Valet Mode, every time the ignition switch is turned "off", the siren
will chirp once as a reminder.
To Turn Off The Easy Valet: Simply press the Easy Valet Switch, and instantly
the security system will exit out of Valet Mode. To confirm that the Valet Mode is
turned off, the LED Status Indicator will turn off.
Disarming The Security System If The Transmitter Is Lost: In the event the
transmitter is lost, damaged, or its batteries become exhausted, the Easy Valet Switch
and your ignition key can be used to disarm the system:
STEP 1. With the system in the armed condition, enter via the driver's door (be aware
that the security system will trigger the instant the door is opened).
STEP 2. Use the ignition key to turn "on" the ignition switch.
STEP 3. Within 5 seconds, press the Easy Valet Switch. The security system will
instantly disarm.

Electronic Siren And Flashing Lights
The electronic siren and the vehicle's exterior lights primary function is to attract
attention to your vehicle if the security system is triggered. In addition, they are also
used to communicate with you, as a way of confirming actions that have taken place,
or, that may be in process of automatically taking place. A chirp is the short, sharp
sound the siren makes as part of this communication. The exterior lights referred to
are the vehicle's parking lights. We do not recommend flashing the headlights. The
halogen headlights found in modern vehicles are not designed to be rapidly turned on
and off. If connected to the security system, a reduction of their useful life may be
noticed.
Siren Chirp With Light Flash Confirmation For Arming, Disarming & Valet
Activation: The following siren chirps and flashing exterior light actions inform you
of these conditions of the security system:
1) One siren chirp and one light flash: The system has armed.
14) Flash-2x & Pause = The security system has detected a trigger from the hood,
trunk circuit or the Port B optional auxiliary sensor input.
15) Flash-3x & Pause = The security system has detected a trigger from the door
circuit.
16) Flash-4x & Pause = The security system has detected a trigger from the Port A
auxiliary sensor input.

observed by the driver. There are 16 possible conditions that the security system can
be in, and are reflected by the LED Status Indicator:
1) Off = The security system is disarmed and not performing any
automatic functions.
2) On Constant = The security system is in the Valet Mode.
3) Flashing Slow = The security system is Fully Armed.
4) Flashing Fast = The 30 second Last Door Arming feature or 90 second
Automatic Rearming feature is in progress.
Transmitter Verification
TM
(Patent Pending): After the ignition is turned "on",
the LED Status Indicator will flash to indicate the number of transmitters programmed
to operate your security system. For example: two flashes and pause indicates that
only two transmitters are coded to operate your system. Whenever you leave your
vehicle and keys with someone, you will now have the peace of mind of knowing that
only your transmitters will operate the security system and that no additional transmitters have been coded into your system for the purpose of stealing your vehicle. This
feature works for 10 seconds every time the ignition switch is turned "on".
5) Flash-1x & Pause = 1 transmitter code is stored in the system's memory.
6) Flash-2x & Pause = 2 transmitter codes are stored in the system's memory.
7) Flash-3x & Pause = 3 transmitter codes are stored in the system's memory.
8) Flash-4x & Pause = 4 transmitter codes are stored in the system's memory.
Zone Violation: If the system is triggered, the LED Status Indicator will start to
flash and pause the #9 through #12 sequences to indicate which protected circuit
triggered the system. This is seen while the system is armed, and after disarming, until
the ignition switch is turned "on", which will clear the Zone Violation code from the
security system's memory. The unit' memory can store two different violation codes.
9) Flash-1x & Pause = The security system was triggered from the current
sensing circuit.
10) Flash-2x & Pause = The security system was triggered from the hood or trunk
circuit.
11) Flash-3x & Pause = The security system was triggered from the door circuit .
12) Flash-4x & Pause = The security system was triggered from the optional
auxiliary sensor input.
Zone Testing: Every time the ignition key is turned "off" , the LED Status Indicator
will flash and pause the #9 through #12 code to indicate what protected circuit is in
a triggered state. Example: Open a door and the LED Status Indicator will start
flashing 3 times and pause until the door is closed, or, if another protected entry point
is triggered while the door is still open, then the LED Status Indicator will indicate the
most recent zone triggered. Current sensing can only detect a "spike", so the LED
Status Indicator will flash once only during a current spike.
13) Flash-1x & Pause = The security system is detecting a trigger from the current
sensing circuit.

Tips To Help Avoid Becoming A Victim Of Crime
This section contains useful tips on your personal safety. Your decision to
purchase a Crime Guard vehicle security system should be part of an overall attitude
of avoiding threatening situations and the protection of yourself, your family and your
possessions. A vehicle security system does not guarantee that a vehicle will never
suffer theft or vandalism. No product or service can offer that. A vehicle security
system is a deterrent- by "hardening the target" you are making it more difficult for
a thief or vandal to victimize you. The main factor in staying safe and secure, is to use
common sense. Please review these hints:
1) Never leave anything of value inside your vehicle in plain sight. "Smash and grab"
theft is on the increase.
2) Always be aware of your surroundings. An alert and aware person is less likely
to become a crime victim than someone who is preoccupied and easily approached.
3) While driving in high crime areas, always keep your doors locked and your
windows up. Your Crime Guard security system can automatically lock your doors
when the ignition switch is turned "on".
4) Always attempt to park your vehicle in a well lit and visible location with your
system activated and doors locked. Since your system has interior and exterior light

Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of your new Crime Guard security system and
on joining over 8 million people worldwide who have trusted their vehicle's security
to the designers of Omega Research & Development, Inc. In learning how to operate
your security system, please become familiar with the following three principal
components: the Remote Transmitter, the Red LED Status Indicator and the Easy
Valet Switch.
The Remote Transmitter: Each security system comes with two pre-learned
transmitters, but can learn up to 4 different transmitters. The transmitter has three
buttons: one large button in the middle and two smaller buttons. This system is preprogrammed, through a built-in learning routine, to have the transmitter buttons work
in the following configuration:
The large button is used to arm, disarm and panic the security system.
The small left button is used, in conjunction with the large button, to operate remote
sensor bypass, remote chirp elimination and remote valet. Used alone it operates
the channel #3 output.
The small right button can be used to operate the trunk release feature.
The Red LED Status Indicator: Informs you of 16 possible conditions the
security system can be in and also serves as a visual deterrent to break-ins and theft.

The Easy Valet Switch: This switch prevents the security system from arming
during extended stopovers at service stations, valet parking, car washes, etc. The
Valet Switch is also used to temporarily override and disarm your security system in
the event you lose your transmitter and to initiate the transmitter code learning process.
Please spend time reviewing this guide to become familiar with your Crime Guard
vehicle security system. We have also included a section with tips on how to avoid
becoming a victim of crime. You will find that your new Crime Guard vehicle security
system will give you years of trouble-free convenience and protection.

Transmitter Features
Extended Transmitter Range Technology: Advanced transmitter design offers
almost twice as much range as conventional systems. This helps overcome problems
encountered in urban areas due to excessive amounts of interference.
Transmitter Code Verification
TM
(Patent Pending): In the event the LED Status
Indicator flashes a total different from the number of transmitters you have programmed
to operate your system you can now erase all codes and immediately reprogram your
transmitters at that time. The patent-pending Code VerificationTM feature, which is
standard in Crime Guard vehicle security systems, is the industry's first response to
3) To learn the first transmitter button codes:
Step A Within 10 seconds of step #2, press the transmitter button that is wanted
to arm/disarm/panic the system (Factory coded as the large transmitter
button) until one siren chirp is heard to confirm that the code was learned
and that the system is ready to learn the trunk release code.
Step B Within 10 seconds of step A, press the transmitter button desired for trunk
release (Factory coded as both the small transmitter button on the right)
until two siren chirps are heard to confirm that the code was learned and
that the system is ready to learn the remote valet, optional sensor bypass
and remote chirp deletecode.
Step CWithin 10 seconds of step B, press the transmitter button that is wanted for
remote valet, optional sensor bypass and remote chirp delete code
(Factory coded as the small transmitter button on the left) until three siren
chirps are heard to confirm that the code was learned and that the system
is ready to learn the 2nd, 3rd or 4th transmitter codes, the process for each
restarting at step A.
4) To program the second, third or fourth transmitter codes, repeat steps A, B, & C.
5) Turning off the ignition, or 10 seconds of no activity, will automatically turn off the
transmitter learning code program, which is confirmed by one siren burst. Since
prior codes will be erased, all transmitters desired to operate the system must be
present and relearned.

6) .8 Or 3 Second Door Lock Pulse Time:
Feature Turned On: The doorlock outputs have a .8 second negative pulse to an
optional doorlock interface to operate the vehicle's power doorlocking system.
Feature Turned Off: The doorlock outputs have a 3 second negative pulse to an
optional doorlock interface to operate the vehicle's vacuum doorlocking system.
7) 3 Or 45 Second Fully Armed Delay After Arming Chirp Confirmation:
Feature Turned On: The security system will be become fully armed 3 seconds
after the arming siren chirp confirmation.
Feature Turned Off: The security system will be become fully armed 45
seconds after the arming siren chirp confirmation.
Note: During the arming delay if any protected circuit should go into a triggered
state, the system will arm, but that circuit will be unprotected until it reverts back
to an untriggered state.
8) Confirmation Chirp On Or Off:
Feature Turned On: The security system will chirp the siren for confirmation that
the system armed and disarmed.
With Feature "Off": The security system will not have siren chirps for the
arming and disarming confirmation. Note: Turning this feature off will also eliminate
the three chirps upon arming if the negative instant trigger circuit is grounded, and the
four chirps upon disarming if the system was triggered and reset. However, the

4) Current Sensing.
Feature Turned On: When the security system is armed, current sensing can detect
a positive current draw from the vehicle's battery. (Example: the dome light comes
on when a door is opened or the brake lights come on when the brake pedal is
pressed). With this feature on, the security system will trigger if a current draw is
detected.
Nine Features Programmed By Easy ValetTM Switch And The Transmitter:
1) The Doors Will Lock At Ignition "On", Unlock At Ignition "Off".
Feature Turned On: The security system will automatically lock the vehicle's doors
one second after the ignition switch is turned "on", and unlock the doors the instant the
ignition switch is turned off. This feature adds considerable personal security to you
and your family.
2) Adding Open Door Bypass To Feature 1:
Feature Turned On: When the security system locks and unlocks the doors from
Feature 1, if a door is open the doors will not automatically lock when the ignition
switch turns "on", or automatically unlock when the ignition switch is turned "off".
This prevents accidentally locking yourself out of the vehicle by turning the domelight
on if leaving it momentarily. This feature also prevents children from exiting the
vehicle by opening your door before turning the ignition switch "off" (most modern
cars allow you to open the door by using the inside handle).

button when arming the system. You will hear a second siren chirp, confirming the
security system has armed without the sensor circuit protecting the vehicle. The next
time you arm the security system, the system will reset to its normal condition, and
the optional sensor will again be part of your protection.
You can also pre-select your security system to automatically arm and lock the
doors. This information is described in the following section.

Passive System Arming By "Last Door Arming"
Your security system can be programmed to arm automatically when the
vehicle's last door is closed. The moment the last door closes, the siren will chirp once,
the parking lights and dome lights will flash once and the LED Status Indicator will
begin to flash rapidly. Thirty seconds later the siren will chirp again, the doors will lock
(If the Passive Lock feature has been chosen) and the LED Status Indicator will slow
to a steady flash, confirming that the security system is fully armed. However, if a
point of entry is reopened before the single chirp at 30 seconds, the passive arming
process stops, and will reset to start over again when that point of entry is reclosed.
"Automatic Last Door Arming" offers a high level of security, since it does not
require you to remember to activate the security system when you leave your vehicle.
Additionally, Automatic Last Door Arming may entitle you to an insurance discount.
Note: Arming By-Pass (page 7) does not operate with the Automatic Last Door
Arming feature. This bypass feature is designed to work only when arming from the

Programmable Features
Your Crime Guard vehicle security system has 13 programmable features that
allow your system to be customized to fit your personal needs. Four of these features
are selectable by the DIP Switches inside the security system control module. The
other nine features are programmed by using a combination of the ignition switch, the
Easy ValetTM switch and the transmitter. Please see your Crime Guard dealer or
installer for more details, as we recommend that the installer change any of the
following features.
Four Features Programmed By DIP Switches Inside The Control Unit:
1) Anti-Carjacking Protection.
Feature Turned On: After turning the ignition switch "on" and starting the vehicle,
you must press the Easy ValetTM switch within 60 seconds. If the valet switch is not
pressed the security system will begin chirping 53 seconds after the ignition was
turned "on". These chirps are to remind you that the Anti-Carjack is about to engage;
pressing the valet switch during the chirps will stop the Anti-Carjack feature. The
chirps will last for 7 seconds, after which time the siren will fully engage and the
parking lights will begin flashing to attract attention to the vehicle. 30 seconds after
the siren and parking lights engage, or, any time the ignition is turned "off" the starter
interrupt will engage. Once the Anti-Carjack is engaged, the only way to disengage
it is to turn the ignition "off", then back "on" again, and then press the valet switch within
5 seconds.

sensor still in a triggered state at the end of the 60 seconds, the system will retrigger
for two more 60 second cycles. Should this occur the system will stop after a total of
3 minutes, while ignoring only the open entry or triggered circuit. Should the entry be
closed, protection will begin instantly for that circuit.
After the security system has been triggered, after it resets the disarm
confirmation will no longer be 2 chirps and the exterior and interior lights coming on
immediately and staying on for 30 seconds. Instead, the system will respond by
producing 4 siren chirps and flashing the lights 4 times before the lights stay on for 30
seconds. Also, the LED Status Indicator will indicate which zone activated the
system. This is accomplished by the status indicator flashing one to four times
between pauses, as defined on page 16, until the ignition key is turned "on".
Disarming The System Using The Transmitter
Disarming The System From The Transmitter: While the security system is
in the armed state, pressing and releasing the large transmitter button once will
instantly disarm the system and unlock the doors. If you have the optional unlock
driver's door feature, then upon disarming only the driver's door will unlock, and if the
large transmitter button is pressed again within 5 seconds, all of the doors will unlock.
Disarming is confirmed by two siren chirps and the exterior and interior lights

rearm itself after 90 seconds and once again lock the doors. This feature is
programmable and may be turned off. See your Crime Guard dealer or installer for
details. Note: Automatic Rearming can be paused by opening the door or stopped by
turning "on" the ignition key. Note: Automatic Rearming is confirmed by a fast
flashing LED Status Indicator after disarming, unless the system was triggered and
reset, in which case a Zone Violation code will flash instead.
Remote Valet Activation: Remote Valet allows you to prevent your Crime
Guard system from automatically rearming by utilizing your transmitter. Within 3
seconds of hearing the disarm siren chirps, press and release the small transmitter
button on the left, which will activate the Remote Valet. Once the system has entered
Remote Valet mode, the exterior lights will flash every 2 seconds during the 30 second
period instead of the lights staying on. The system will stay in Remote Valet mode until
armed again from the transmitter or, if Automatic Last Door arming is utilized, until
a door is opened and closed.
Remote Panic Feature
Remote Panic Activation From The Transmitter: Should you feel threatened
or the need to attract attention at any time you can activate your Crime Guard's
Remote Panic feature by depressing the large transmitter button for 3 seconds. Your

You may want to ask the installing dealer if this is a service that they provide, and if
there will be any charge for this service. If you plan on replacing the 9 volt battery
yourself, be sure to have the installer show you how to access the security system's
control unit.
Impact And Glass Sensor With Prewarn Feature
Your Crime Guard security system features two ports which allows an auxiliary
sensor to easily be added to increase the effectiveness of your system. Your system
includes a Dual Zone Infrasonic Impact and Glass Resonance sensor, which will
detect shock or impact to your vehicle. A light shock or impact to the vehicle will
initiate the Prewarn feature, while heavier shock or impact will trigger the security
system. Other sensors are available which include those that monitor shock to the
vehicle, detect changes in atmospheric pressure within the vehicle, and radar sensors
that can detect motion inside and outside the vehicle. The sensor may be temporarily
bypassed using the transmitter, which is described on page 7.
The following differences in operation of the two auxiliary sensor ports
concerning the sensor bypass feature should be noted: Port A, which is on the corner
of the security system control module, will have both the negative instant trigger and
the prewarn trigger bypassed when this feature is utilized. Port B, just inboard of Port
A, will have only the prewarn trigger and not the negative instant trigger bypassed.
This allows the option, when installing a single sensor, of having both prewarn and

Using The Easy ValetTM Switch
The primary function of the Easy Valet Switch is to enter your security system into
Valet Mode, which prevents the system from arming. You will find this useful when
stopping at service stations, having your vehicle serviced, having your car valet parked
or while having your car washed. The Easy Valet Switch, in conjunction with
the ignition key, can be used to disarm the system should your transmitter be lost or
become inoperable. The Easy Valet Switch is normally mounted in a hidden location
that is accessible to the driver. Be sure your Crime Guard dealer indicates the location
of the Easy Valet Switch to you to avoid potential inconvenience otherwise.
To Turn On The Easy Valet: This unique feature can be activated anytime the
system is disarmed. This patent-pending feature allows you to enter the Valet Mode
by simply depressing the Easy Valet switch, provided the system is not armed.
However, if the system is armed or in the triggered state, the ignition needs to be
turned "on" and then the Easy Valet Switch pressed within 5 seconds to disarm the
system by entering Valet Mode.
Simply press and hold the Easy Valet
Switch for 2 seconds to activate the Valet
Mode. The system will confirm that it is in the Valet Mode by chirping the siren twice,
and the LED Status Indicator will illuminate. The security system will hold memory
of the Valet Mode when the ignition switch is "on" or "off". While in the Valet Mode,
although the system will not arm, the transmitters will still operate the Remote Panic
