Congratulations on the purchase of your 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 anyone other than an authorized dealer voids the

warranty. All dealers are provided with preprinted dealer certifi-

cates to verify that they are authorized.

This owner’s guide should help you to get the most out of your

system. Please take the time to read it prior to using the system.

system maintenance

The system requires no specific maintenance. Your remote

control is powered by a small, lightweight 3 volt lithium battery

that will last approximately one year under normal use. When

the battery weakens, operating range will be reduced and the

LED on the remote will dim.

your warranty

Your warranty registration must be returned and the bar code

serial number must not be removed. If the warranty registration

is not returned, you do not 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 that you receive

the warranty registration from your dealer.

fcc/id notice

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is

subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not

cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any

interference received, including interference that may cause

undesired operation.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party

responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to

operate this device.

This system uses a computer-based learn routine to learn the

transmitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any trans-

mitter button to any system function. The transmitter initially

comes programmed with Standard Configuration, but may also

be customized by an authorized dealer. The buttons in all of the

instructions in this manual correspond to a Standard

Configuration transmitter.

The buttons used in the instructions in this manual correspond

to the standard configuration. Remember, this is not the only

way your transmitter may be set up. It can be custom configured

to meet your needs.

active arming

You can activate, or arm, the system by pressing on your

transmitter for one second. When the system arms, you will hear

a short siren sound, or chirp, and the parking lights will 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 approxi-

mately once per second, indicating that the system is actively

protecting your vehicle. If you hear a second chirp after arming,

and see the status LED flashing in groups, refer to the Diagnostics

section of this guide. This extra chirp is called Bypass Notification.

➜

passive arming

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 once 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.

When armed, your vehicle is protected as follows:

➤ Light impacts will trigger the Warn Away

®

signal. When trig-

gered, the siren will chirp and the parking lights will flash for

a few seconds.

➤ Heavy impacts will trigger the system. The triggered

sequence is between 1-180 seconds of constant siren and

flashing parking lights.

➤ If a door is opened, the system will immediately start

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 of this
guide. Additionally, each time a protected entry is trig­gered during the arming countdown, the 30-second
countdown starts over.

chirping 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 sys-

tem with your transmitter if you inadvertently open the door

while the system is armed, while still providing an 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.

multi-level security arming

Multi-Level Security Arming allows you to select which of the

security system's inputs or sensors will be active and which will

be bypassed at the time that the system is armed. (See the Table

of Zones section of this guide.) Pressing again within five

seconds of arming the security system will activate the Multi-

Level Security Arming feature. Each time is pressed again, a

different security level is selected. The different security levels

can be selected as follows:

➤ Press one time: The siren chirps once. The system is

armed.

➤ Press a second time within five seconds: The siren

chirps twice followed by a long chirp. Zone 2 is now

bypassed.

➤ Press a third time within five seconds: The siren chirps

three times followed by a long chirp. Zone 4 is now

bypassed.

➤ Press a fourth time within five seconds: The siren chirps

four times followed by a long chirp. Zones 2 and 4 are now

bypassed.

➤ Press a fifth time within five seconds: The siren chirps

five times followed by a long chirp. All input zones, except

the ignition, are now bypassed.

➤ Continued pressing of will begin the Multi-Level

Security Arming cycle over again.

arming while driving

Your system can be armed while driving the vehicle. Simply press

on your transmitter for two second while the vehicle is running

or while the ignition is on. The siren will chirp once and then once

more to indicate that the ignition is on. The security system will not

respond to any input except the door triggers and the Failsafe®

Starter Kill (if installed) will not be activated. The security system

will disarm automatically whenever the ignition is turned off. The

siren will chirp twice and the LED will stop flashing.

➜

note: Multi-Level Security Arming only applies to a sin­gle arming cycle. Once the system is disarmed and then
re-armed, all the zones will be active again.
