SECURITY SYSTEM

PROTECTION ZONES
Your security system can use up to six different monitoring devices simultaneously to protect your vehicle.
These devices are connected to the system on different inputs called protection zones.
One of these zones can send an audible warning (7 chirps), while the other five generate an alarm
condition if system is armed.
PROTECTION ZONES
Pre-shock
(more than 3 times within 3 min.)
Doors
Hood
Additional sensor (Trunk)
Shock sensor
Ignition (key)
DETERRENTS
ACTIVE
When one of the monitoring devices detects a violation, system reacts by activating the following
deterrents, depending on which is connected.
System can activate up to four deterrents simultaneously: siren, parking lights, dome light and/or horn.
PREVENTIVE
Indicator light shows different alarm conditions (see "ZONE CODES" on page 11).
It can also act as a deterrent if installed in a place visible from outside vehicle.
ALARM MODES
WARNING
Warning signal is 7 siren chirps.
If a two-level shock sensor is connected to system, warning sounds every time vehicle is subjected to a
light shock when the alarm is armed.
PRE-ALARM
If you set off alarm by accident and do not want to alarm or disturb the whole neighborhood, "pre-alarm"
mode cuts in three seconds before alarm condition to give you time to disarm system.
In this mode, parking lights, siren and dome light go on and off intermittently for three seconds.
ALARM CONDITION
When system is in alarm condition, it activates the various deterrents connected to the alarm module.
Alarm condition remains active for 30 or 60 seconds depending on initial programming, then system
pauses for five seconds (45 seconds for "Door" zone).
During this pause, it checks the protection zones again and restarts alarm cycle if a zone is still in violation.
This cycle can be repeated up to four times. If situation that caused the violation is corrected in mid-cycle,
alarm stops at end of current cycle.
