CONGRATULATIONS on your purchase of a state-of-the-art vehicle securi-
ty system.This system has been designed to provide years of troublefree operation.Due to the complexity of this system, it must be installed
by an authorized dealer only. Installation of this product by any other
person other than an authorized dealer voids the warranty. All dealers
are provided with a preprinted dealer certificate to verify that they are
authorized.
THE SYSTEM REQUIRES NO SPECIFIC MAINTENANCE. Your remote control is
powered by a miniature 12V battery, type GP23A, that will last about a
year under normal use.When the battery weakens, operating range will
be reduced and the LED on the remote will light dim.
YOUR WARRANTY card must be returned and the bar code serial number
must not be removed.If the warranty card is not returned you don’t 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 you receive the warranty card from your dealer.
THIS OWNER’S GUIDE should help you to get the most out of your system.
Please take the time to read it thoroughly, prior to using the system.

Transmitter Channels
Channel I
The arm/disarm and panic functions, are usually controlled by Button I.
Channel II
The Silent Mode™/trunk release function, is usually controlled by Button II.
Silent Mode™and Remote Valet®work by pressing button II for less than one
second.Trunk release requires you to press Button II for 1.5 seconds.
Channel III (for options)
Usually controlled by pressing Buttons I and II at the same time.
These assignments can be changed if needed, such as for two-car operation
from one remote.

Using Your System
Arming
You can turn on, or arm, the system by pressing button I of your transmitter
for one second. When the system arms, you will hear a short siren sound, or
chirp, and see the parking lights flash once.If the vehicle’s power door locks
are controlled by the system, the doors will lock.
While the system is armed, the Status LED will flash about twice a second,
showing that the system is actively protecting your vehicle.If you hear a second chirp after arming and see the Status LED flashes in groups, see
Diagnostics section.This extra chirp is called Bypass Notification.
The system also can be programmed to arm itself automatically (called pas-
sive 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.
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). Additionally, each time a sensor is triggered during the arming
countdown, the 30-second countdown starts over.
When armed, your vehicle is protected in the following ways:
• Light impacts will trigger theWarn Away®signal.When triggered, the siren
will chirp and the parking lights will flash for a few seconds.
• Heavy impacts will trigger the system. The trigger sequence is 30 seconds of constant siren and flashing parking lights.
• If a door is opened, the system will immediately start chir ping 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 system with your transmitter if you inadvertently open the
door while the system is armed, while still providing instant response
(even if the door is immediately closed).
• Tur ning 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.
Arming While Driving
Your system can be armed while driving the vehicle! Simply press button I on
your transmitter while the vehicle is running. The system will chir p once and
then once more to indicate that the ignition is on. The system will not respond
to any input except the door triggers and the starter kill relay (if installed) will
not be activated. Once you have reached your destination, the system must
be disarmed by pressing Button I on the transmitter once more. The siren will
chirp twice and the LED will stop flashing. If you do not disarm the system, it
will trigger when the any door is opened to exit the vehicle.
Disarming
To tur n off, or disarm the system, press Button I again. You will hear two
chirps, and the parking lights will flash twice. If power locks are controlled by
he system, the doors will unlock. If the siren chirps either four or five times
when disarming, see Diagnostics section. This is called Tamper Alert.
High Security Disarm
Your system includes a High Security Disarm feature. During the trigger
sequence, using the transmitter to disarm the system will only stop the trigger
sequence (the siren will stop and the parking lights will stop flashing). However, the system will remain armed and the doors will stay locked. This is
extremely useful if you must stop the system from sounding, but are unable
