B. Programming System Features (Factory preset all features to “on” position, except car-jacking)

To enter feature programming:

1. Turn the ignition “on” then “off”.

2. Within 10 seconds push the valet switch 3 times. (A long chirp).

3. Again push the valet switch 3 times. (A long chirp again to confirm in feature programming mode).

To program a feature:

4. Push the valet switch the same number of times as the feature number (see chart below).

5. Turn ignition switch from “off” to “on” to set the feature.

Example:

1. Push valet switch 2 times, (it’s on Active/Passive Arming section. The siren will chirp 2 times, LED

4. If you want to program Auto Rearm (5th feature) when the system is on Active/Passive Arming,
push valet switch 3 times again. (Siren chirps 5 times, LED flashes 5 times). The system will add on
the previous valet switch pushing.

To exit feature programming:

6. During programming, if you don’t respond to previous step in 15 seconds or any time press the ARM
