REMOTE TRANSMITTER BUTT ONS

Transmitter Icons

NOTE: Transmitter cosmetics may differ
between models and between standard 1-way
and LCD 2-way transmitters, but button
functions remain the same as described below.

Each transmitter button has two operating
modes: standard and level shifted. Pressing a
transmitter button for less than one second
activates the standard function associated with
that button (such as arm or disarm). Pressing a
button for more than one second changes the
color of the standard transmitter’s LED to
green and activates the level shift feature.
While the LED is green (level shifted),pressing
any transmitter button accesses another level
of commands providing expanded operation.

ARMING OPERATION

To arm the system press transmitter button 1:

• The siren will chirp once.

• The parking lights will flash once.*

• The doors will lock.*

• The LED will turn solid for 10 seconds
then start flashing slowly. After 10
seconds the system is armed.

During Arming, if an open hood or trunk is
detected, the system will wait 10 seconds for
the zone to close. If a door is open the system
will wait up to 60 seconds for the zone to close
(depending on door zone setting during
installation). If a zone remains open after the
wait period, the siren will chirp, the parking
lights will flash 4 times to indicate the zone is
still open. The system will then ignore that
zone, but keep all other areas protected.

While Armed, the system will trigger if:

• The door,hood,or trunk is opened.

• The shock sensor detects an impact.

• An optional sensor is disturbed.

When triggered by the door or hood/trunk
input the siren will sound, the horn will honk,
and the parking lights will flash for 30 seconds.
If triggered by a sensor,the alarm cycle will last
15 seconds. If the alarm is triggered while the
optional remote start is engaged, the remote
start will immediately shut down.

If a zone triggers the system 3 times during a
single arming cycle, the system will bypass that
zone, keeping the other zones protected, until
the next time the system is armed.

If the shock sensor detects a light impact to the
vehicle or an optional sensor is disturbed, the
system will chirp and the parking lights will flash
5 times to warn away the potential intruder.
