Using The Transmitter To Arm The Security System

1. Exit the vehicle and close all entrances.

2. Press and release the LOCK button on the transmitter. The security system will respond as follows:
A. The horn/siren will chirp one time.
B. The LED indicator will begin to flash at a steady rate.
C. The parking lights will flash one time.
D. All protected entrances are armed.

The security system is now fully armed!

Security System Operation

Arming the Security System without Using The Transmitter

Note: The following information is valid only if your security system has been programmed to

automatically arm.

1. Turn off the ignition key and exit the vehicle.

2.

Close all protected entrances. After the last protected entrance is closed the horn/siren will chirp
one time and the LED indicator will begin to flash fast. The fast flashing LED indicates that the
automatic arming timer is counting down and the security system will become armed within 30
seconds. After 30 seconds has passed, the security system will respond in the following manner:

A. The horn/siren will chirp one time.
B. The LED indicator will begin to flash slower.
C. The parking lights will flash one time.
D. All protected entrances are armed.

Note 1: Re-opening a protected entrance before the system becomes armed will stop the arming
timer. After closing the entrance the timer will begin counting again from zero.

Note 2: If the vehicle has a delayed interior lighting system, the automatic arming timer will start
counting after the interior lighting has turned itself off. This could add up to 45 seconds to the total
automatic arming countdown time. (Up to 75 seconds total arming delay)

The security system is now fully armed!

Automatically Arming the Security System

Disarming the Security System Using the Transmitter

1. Press and release the UNLOCK button on the transmitter. The security system will respond as follows:
A. The horn/siren will chirp two times.

B1. The LED indicator will be off. (Only if Auto Arming is programmed “Off”)
B2. The LED indicator will be flashing very fast. (Only if Auto Arming is programmed “On”)
C. The parking lights will flash two times.

Note: If you are disarming the security system after it has been triggered and the horn/siren is
sounding, the disarm chirps are automatically deleted.

Note: The following procedures are based on Dedicated Button Mode programming.

Valet/Override Switch Operation

Disarming The Security System Using the Passive Transmitter

(M5 Security System only)

A. The passive transmitter may be used as a normal transmitter and/or as a passive transmitter.
B. For passive unlocking/disarm operations to operate, the slide switch must be in the ”on” position.
C. With the security system armed, walk toward your vehicle and the security system will respond

the same as pushing the unlock button on the transmitter.

D. Anytime the passive-unlocking/disarm feature is not desired move the switch to ”off” position.

Operation Notes:

For total passive operations and conveniences, the security system alarm receiver

module should
be programmed for both Automatic Arming and with Automatic Door Locking. This will allow the
security system to automatically arm as you exit and to automatically disarm as you approach the
vehicle. The vehicle will remained disarmed and unlocked while you are moving near the vehicle.
After the passive disarm signals disappears the system will begin auto arming again etc.

With the auto arming and auto locking feature programmed on, the vehicle will re-arm and re-lock
the doors 45 seconds after the last passive disarm signal was received.

When you manually depress the Lock/Arm button on the passive transmitter, after exiting the
vehicle, the alarm receiver module will not respond to a passive disarm signal for 60 seconds.
This avoids unwanted disarm/unlocking as you walk away from the vehicle.

Warning- The security system will not re-arm or re-lock the doors unless the auto arming and
auto re-locking features are programmed “On”. If you do not want passive arming/locking
features programmed On, we suggest you always keep the passive slide switch turned off.

The security system is now disarmed!

Disarming the Security System Using the Transmitter

The valet switch is used to override the security system in the event that the transmitters are lost or
fail to operate and to put the security system in non-operational mode (valet) for vehicle servicing etc.

Override Operation: (Security System is Armed)

1. Enter the vehicle (The security system will begin sounding at this point)

2. Place the ignition key into the ignition switch and turn the ignition switch to the “on” position.

3. Within 5 seconds of turning the ignition key “on”, place the valet switch to the “on” position.

4. The horn/siren will stop sounding.

5. The LED indicator will be solid red.

The security system is overridden and is now in the valet mode!

Note

1: If the valet switch is already in the “on” position when you turn “on” the ignition key, the

override function will be bypassed. Turn “off” the ignition key, place the valet switch in the “off”
position and try again.

Note 2: If you fail to place the valet switch to the “on” position within 5 seconds of turning “on” the
ignition key, the override function will be locked out. Place the valet switch in the “off” position, turn
“off” the ignition key and try again.
