Security System Operation
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!
Automatic Arming
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!

Disarming the Security System Using the Transmitter

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.
The security system is now disarmed!
Valet/Override Switch Operation
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 nonoperational 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.
