Congratulations on the purchase of your security system. Due to the
complexity of this system, it must be inst alled by an authorized deal -
er only . Inst allation of this product by anyone other than an autho -
rized dealer voids the warranty. All dealers are provided with a
preprinted dealer certificate to verify that they are authorized.
By carefully reading this Owner’s Guide prior to using your system,
you will maximize the use of this system and it s features.
Y ou can print additional or replacement copies of this manual by

Using your system
Manual (active) arming
The factory default is active arming. Y ou can activate or arm the sys -
tem by locking the doors with your factory keyless entry transmitter .
When the system arms, you will hear a short siren chirp and see the
p arking light s flash once.
While the system is armed the st atus LED flashes about twice a sec -
ond, to show that the system is actively protecting your vehicle. If you
hear a second short siren chirp af ter arming, and the st atus LED is
flashing in group s, then go to Diagnostics section (p age 9). This extra
short siren chirp is called Byp ass Notification.
Automatic (passive) arming
The system also can be programmed to arm it self automatically
(called p assive arming). If the system is programmed for p assive
arming, it will automatically arm 30 seconds af ter the ignition is turned
of f and the system sees you leave the vehicle by opening and clos -
ing a door . Whenever the system is in it s 30-second p assive-arming
count down, the st atus LED will flash twice as fast as it does when the
system is armed. When the system arms, you will hear a short siren
chirp and the p arking light s will flash once. The doors lock (if con -
nected and programmed for passive locking).
NNoottee::
If the ignition is turned on within 60 seconds of
arming the system, the system will automatically disarm.
NNoottee::
The system can be programmed to sound horn honks or
siren chirps. The horn is optional and may require additional
labor.

© 2009 Directed Electronics
If any protected entry point (such as a door or a switch-protected
trunk or hood) is open, the system will not p assively arm.
Additionally , each time a sensor is trig gered duri ng the arming count -
down, the 30-second count down st art s over .
Note: Passive arming may qualify for a higher insurance discount.
Check with your insurance agent
Armed protection
When armed, your vehicle is protected as follows:
Light imp acts to your vehicle trigger the warn away signal.
The system chirp s the siren and flashes the parking light s
for a few seconds.
Heavy impact s trigger the system. The triggered sequence
is 30 or 60 seconds of the siren sounding continuously and
flashing p arking light s.
If a door is opened the system immediately st art s short
chirp s of the siren and flashes the p arking light s. Three
seconds later the siren output changes to a continuous
blast. This progressive response gives you time to disarm
the system with your transmitter while providing inst ant
response if you inadvertenly open a door while the sys -
tem is armed. (even if the door is immediately closed).
T urning on the ignition key triggers the same progressive
response as opening a door.
If the st arter kill relay is inst alled, the st arter interrupt pre -
vent s the vehicle s st arter from cranking.
NNoottee::
If programmed for instant trigger, the siren sounds a
full trigger response after the door has been opened
(
see
Programming Options
section of this guide
)

Disarming
To disarm the system, unlock the doors using your factory keyless
transmitter . The siren sounds twice, and the p arking light s flash
twice. If the siren sounds either four or five times when disarming,
refer to the Diagnostics section of this guide. This is called T amper
Alert.
Disarming without a transmitter
This feature allows you to override the system without the transmitter
should it be lost, damaged or disabled. To do this, you must have the
vehicle’s ignition key and know where the Valet switch is located.
T urn the ignition to the run position.
Press and Release the V alet switch,
within 10 seconds.
Af ter a few seconds the LED will stop flashing and the vehicle should
st art. If it does not, you may have waited too long. T urn the ignition of f
and try again.

Valet mode
Y ou can prevent your system from arming, by using Valet Mode. This
is very useful when washing the vehicle or having it serviced. In Valet
Mode the system will not arm, but all convenience functions (door
locks, trunk release, etc.) will work normally .
To enter or exit Valet®Mode with the Valet switch:
T urn ignition to on position,
then turn to of f position.
Press and release the Valet
switch within 10 seconds.
The st atus LED will light steady if you have entered V alet Mode. T o
exit V alet Mode, repeat the step s above. The LED turns of f when exit -
ing V alet Mode.
Remote valet
Remote Valet is a convenient feature that makes byp assing the secu -
rity system easier . This feature makes it possible to exit or enter Valet
Mode using your factory keyless transmitter.
1. Open any door.
2. Press LOCK on the transmitter .
3. Press UNLOCK on the transmitter .
4. Press LOCK on the transmitter .
The st atus LED will st ay o n if you have entered V alet Mode, and it will
go out if you exited V alet Mode.
DRW-35
The remote Valet feature will not work with all factory
Keyless system. Some keyless entry systems do not
work with a door open.

Panic mode
If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can attract atten -
tion by triggering the system with your transmitter! If your factory key -
less transmitter does not have a p anic button, this system can be
programmed by your inst aller to enable a p anic feature (refer to the
Programming Options).
If enabled, just press the lock button on your factory keyless trans -
mitter twice within three seconds to enter Panic Mode. The siren
sounds and the p arking light s flash for 30 seconds. To stop Panic
Mode at any time, press the unlock button on your factory transmit -
ter.
NNoottee::
The system can also be programmed so that pressing
the lock button twice within three seconds will activate an
optional accessory. If the unit is programmed to activate an
optional accessory, Panic Mode will not be operational.

Nuisance prevention circuitry
fi
Y our system has Nuisance Prevention Circuitry (NPC). This circuitry
prevent s annoying repetitive trigger sequences due to faulty door pin
switches or environment al conditions such as thunder, jackhammers,
airport noise, etc.
Here’s how it works:
The alarm triggers three times. Each time, the same sensor or switch
is triggering the alarm. The three triggers are within 60 minutes of
each other. Y our system will interpret this p attern of triggers as false
alarms. Af ter the third trigger , your system ignores, or byp asses that
sensor or switch (along with any other sensors or switches sharing
the same zone) for 60 minutes.
If the byp assed sensor tries to trigger the system while it is being
bypassed, the 60-minute byp ass period will st art over . This ensures
that a sensor that is continuously triggering will remain byp assed.
Doors are covered dif ferently: If the alarm is triggered by an open
door for three full cycles (one-and-one-half minutes), the doors will be
byp assed until the door is closed.
Important: Arming and disarming the system does not reset the
byp ass feature. The bypass zone is reset by not triggering for 60 min -
utes or by turning the ignition On. When testing your system remem -
ber the byp ass circuitry can cause zones to appear to stop working.
If five chirp s are heard when disarming, NPC has engaged. If you
wish to clear the memory, turn the ignition key on.

Diagnostics
The microprocessor at the heart of your system is const antly moni -
toring the switches and sensors connected to it. It detect s any faulty
switches and sensors and prevent s them from disabling the entire
system. The microprocessor also records and report s any triggers
that occurred during your absence.
Arming diagnostics
If the system is armed with an input active (door open, sensor trig -
gering, etc.) the unit will chirp once when arming and then one more
time a few seconds later. This is called byp ass notification.
The system will ignore the input that was active when it was armed
until the input is no longer active. Three seconds later it will monitor
that input normally. For example, if your car has interior light exit
delay, and you arm the system before the interior light goes out, you
may get bypass notification. Once the light goes out, however, the
doors are monitored normally.
Disarming diagnostics
Extra disarm chirp s are the t amper alert. If four chirp s are heard
when disarming, the system was triggered in your absence. If five
chirp s are heard, a zone was triggered so many times that NPC has
byp assed that zone. In either case, the st atus LED will indicate which
zone was involved (see Table of Zones section). T he system will
ret ain this information in it s memory, and chirp four or five times each
time it is disarmed, until the next time the ignition key is turned on.
NNoottee::
Bypass notification will not occur if chirps have been
programmed OFF.

Table of zones
The number of LED flashes the system uses to identify input s is rep -
resented by a Zone. The st andard Input assignment s for zones are
described below.
Zone/LED Flashes Input description
1
Instant trigger - often used
for hood/trunk pin switches
2 Instant trigger - a heavier impact
detected by the shock sensor
3 Door switch trigger
4 Optional sensor
5 Ignition trigger
The LED will not report if the W arn A way response is triggered.
Rapid resume logic
This system will store it s current st ate to non-volatile memory . If
power is lost and then reconnected the system will recall the stored
st ate from memory. This means if the unit is in V alet Mode and the
battery is disconnected for any reason, such as servicing the car ,
when the battery is reconnected the unit will still be in V alet Mode.
This applies to all st ates of the system including arm, disarm, and
V alet Mode.

neath the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor
which monitors your vehicle and controls all of the alarm s functions.
Failsafe®Starter Kill (if equipped) : An automatic switch controlled by
the security system which prevent s the vehicle s starter from crank -
ing whenever the system is armed. The vehicle is never prevented
from cranking when the system is disarmed, in ValetfiMode, or
should the st arter kill switch it self fail. Y our system is ready for this
feature, however inst allation of this feature may require additional
labor .
Input: Any physical connection to the security system. An input can
be provided through a sensor, pinswitch or by existing systems in the
vehicle, such as ignition or courtesy light s.
LED: The LED indicates the st atus of your system. It is also used to
report triggers and fault s in the system or sensors.
Valet Switch: A small push-button switch mounted somewhere in
the vehicle. The switch is used to override the alarm when a trans -
mitter is lost or damaged, or to put it into V alet Mode.
Warn Away Response: Light imp act s to the vehicle generate the
W arn A way Response, which consist s of several seconds of siren
chirp s and flashing p arking light s.
Zone: A zone is a sep arate input that the alarm can recognize as
unique. Each input to the system is connected to a p articular zone.
Of ten, two or more input s may share the same zone such as hood
and trunk if connected.
