CONGRATULATIONS on your purchase of a state-of-the-art vehicle security

system. This system has been designed to provide years of trouble-free operation. Due to the complexity of this system, it must be installed by an authorized dealer only. Installation of this product by any other person other than an authorized dealer voids the warranty. All dealers are provided with a preprinted dealer cer tificate to verify that they are authorized. THE SYSTEM REQUIRES NO SPECIFIC MAINTENANCE.Y our remote control is powered by a miniature 12V battery, type GP23A, that will last about a year under nor ma l use.When the battery weakens, operating range will be reduced and the LED on the remote will light dim.

YOUR WARRANTY card must be retur ned and the bar code ser ial number must

not be removed.If the warranty card is not returned you don’t have a warranty. It is also necessary to keep your proof of purchase which reflects that the product was installed by an authorized dealer. Make sure you receive the

warranty card from your dealer. THIS OWNER’S GUIDE should help you to get the most out of your system.Please

take the time to read it thoroughly, prior to using the system.

Transmitter Channels

The receiver uses a computer-based Learn Routine™to learn the transmitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any button on the remote to any receiver function.Two of the possible transmitter configurations are illustrated below.

Standard Configuration

The standard configuration is how the transmitters come programmed initially. If you would like a custom configuration, see your dealer.

Arm/Dis arm/ Panic

The arm/disarm/panic functions are usually controlled by Button I.

Function 2

The Silent Mode™, Remote Valet®, Trunk release functions are usually controlled by Button II.(Silent Mode and Remote Valet work by pressing Button II for less than one second.T runk release requires you to press Button II f or 1.5 seconds.)

Functions 3-6

These functions are assigned to transmitter buttons as shown in the diagr am. They are provided to control any convenience or expansion options you wish to add to the system.

Separate Arm/Dis arm/ Panic

A remote configured in this way will operate like many factory keyless entry remotes. This configuration makes it possible to arm the system with one transmitter button, disarm it with another, and activate Panic Mode with a third.

Function 2

Silent Mode™, Remote Valet®, and trunk release are all controlled by function

2. In the diagram above, function 2 is assigned to transmitter Button IV.Silent Mode™and Remote Valet work by pressing Button IV for less than one second. Pressing Button IV for 1.5 will activate the trunk release function.

Functions 3-6

These functions can be assigned to combinations of transmitter buttons as needed.The functions are provided to control any convenience or expansion options you wish to add to the system.

Using Your System

The button numbers used in the descriptions correspond to the standard configuration. Remember, this is not the only way your transmitter may be set up.It can be configured to meet your needs

Arming

You can activate, or arm, the system by pressing Button I of your transmitter for one second.When the system arms, you will hear a short siren sound, or chirp, and see the parking lights flash once. If the vehicle’s power door locks have been connected to the system, the doors will lock.

While the system is armed, the Status LED will flash about twice a second, showing that the system is actively protecting your vehicle. If you hear a second chirp after arming and see the Status LED flashing in groups, see Diagnostics section.This extra chirp is called Bypass Notification.

The system also can be programmed to arm itself automatically (called passive arming). If the system is programmed for passive arming, it will automatically arm 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off and the system “sees” you leave the vehicle by opening and closing a door. Whenever the system is in its 30-second passive-arming countdown, the Status LED will flash twice as fast as it does when the system is armed.The siren will chirp one time 20 seconds after the last door has been closed.The system is not actually armed at that point.The system arms and the doors lock (if connected and programmed for passive locking) at the 30 second mark, but the siren will not chirp.The early chirp provides you with a 10-second warning prior to arming.

NOTE: If any protected entry point (such as a door or a switch-protected trunk or hood) is open, the system will not passively arm (unless forced passive arming is programmed on. See Programming Options section). Additionally , each time a sensor is trigger ed during the ar ming countdown, the 30-second countdown starts over.

When armed, your vehicle is protected as follows:

• Light impacts will trigger the Warn A wa y®signal.When triggered, the siren will chirp and the parking lights will flash for a few seconds.

• Heavy impacts will trigger the programmed triggered sequence.

• If a door is opened, the system will immediately start chir ping the siren and flashing the parking lights. Three seconds later, the siren output changes to a continuous blast.This progressive response gives you time to disarm the system with your transmitter if you inadvertently open the door while the system is armed, while still providing instant response (even if the door is immediately closed).

• Turning on the ignition key will trip the same two-stage response as opening a door.

• The optional starter kill prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking.

Arming While Driving

Your system can be armed while driving the vehicle! Simply press Button I on your transmitter for 1.5 seconds while the vehicle is running, or the ignition is on. The system will chir p once and then once more to indicate that the ignition is on. The system will not respond to any input except the door triggers and the starter kill relay (if installed) will not be activated. The system will disarm automatically when the ignition is turned off. The siren will chirp twice and the LED will stop flashing.

Disarming

To disarm the system, press Button I again. You will hear two chirps, and the parking lights will flash twice. If power locks are connected to the system, the doors will unlock. If the siren chir ps either four or five times when disarming, see Diagnostics section.This is called Tamper Alert.

High Security Disarm

This system proudly offers High Security Disarm. High Security Disar m is a feature that makes it possib le to silence and reset the system when it is triggering without disarming the system. If the system is triggered, and the siren has been sounding for longer than six seconds, pressing the disarm button on the transmitter will stop the trigger and return the unit to the armed state.The system will not disarm, but rather reset.This prevents you from disabling the system should you wish to disarm it without visually checking the vehicle. Pressing the disarm button again, after resetting the system, will disarm the system. Pressing the disarm button on the transmitter during the first six seconds of the triggered sequence will disarm the system immediately. The six second timer is provided for your con v enience should you trigger the system by mistak e.

Disarming Without a Transmitter

This feature allows you to disarm the system without the transmitter should it be lost, damaged or disabled. In order to disar m without a transmitter, you must have the vehicle’s ignition key and know where the Valet button is. Be sure to check with the installer for the location of the Valet button.

Turn ignition to "on" position. Push the Valet switch within 15 seconds.The system should now disarm. If it does not, you may have waited too long, so turn the ignition off and on and try again.

IMPORTANT! The V alet switch will not disar m the optional VRS®feature. The hidden VRS arm/disarm switch must be used (see VRS section.).

It is also possible to disarm the system using the Ghost Switch. Please see the Ghost Switch™ section of this guide.

Ghost Switch

™

The Ghost Switch™is not a switch at all. It is a factory switch already in your vehicle that will function as a protected disarm switch. Any factory switch in your vehicle ma y be used, as long as it s witches positive v oltage .Y our installer can help you to determine what switches will work in your vehicle .Some ideas are power window, radio tur n-on, or defroster switches.
