Silent Arming/Disarming: Press the "Lock" and "Unlock" button together on the transmitter to arm or disarm you security system. No chirp sound will be heard, arm/disarm confirmation will be through the vehicles parking lights only.
Active arming/disarming is controlling you security system via the remote transmitter. This security system is equipped with an optional Passive Arming feature, which allows the security system to arm 30 seconds after the last door is closed. Operation:
Passive Door Locking: (see Feature No. 3 on programming chart) The vehicle doors will automatically lock after passive arming cycle has been completed.
Tamper Disarming: If alarm is triggered upon disarming the system, the siren chips 4 times and the parking lights flash 3 times.
Automatic Rearm: (see feature No. 5 on programming chart) If this feature is selected, the security system will automatically rearm itself 60 seconds after disarming with remote transmitter. Automatic rearm will cancel if any door is opened before the 60 seconds timer has elapsed.
The valet switch allows you to temporarily bypass all alarm functions, eliminating the need to give your transmitter to parking attendants or garage mechanics. When the system is in valet mode, all alarm function are bypassed, however the remote panic feature and remote door locks will remain operational.
Enter Valet Mode:
Exit Valet Mode:
The transmitter can be used as a remote panic switch to manually trigger the alarm in case of emergency.
If your security system has become triggered, the siren will sound for 60 seconds and then stop and reset to a fully armed condition.
Note: If a protected entrance is left open, your security system will remain triggered for two more 60 second cycles then full rearm excluding the door input trigger (door input trigger is no longer functional). Closing the entrance will reset the door input trigger within 7 seconds.
If you don't need this alarm system's car-jacking function to be "On", set it to "Off". The default car-jacking setting is "Off" (see Feature No. 8 on programming chart).
Pressing and holding the "Lock" and "Unlock" button on the transmitter for 1 second while the vehicle's ignition is "On" will trigger the car-jacking. The parking lights will turn on for 1.5 seconds to indicate car jacking is activated.
Override the System to Turn Off Car-Jacking:
Turn the ignition switch from "Off" to "On", and within 10 seconds push valet switch, the siren will stop and the system will disarm.
