AuTOmATic REARminG

This automatically rearms the alarm if the system is disarmed from the remote. (see user
feature #10). When disarmed by remote, the system will start a 90 second countdown (fast flash-
ing status light) to arm the system. This is useful if the controller accidentally disarms the system
when it's kept in a purse or pocket where other items could potentially press the buttons.
NOTE: Installer feature #13 must be on and the system must be wired for security functions

PRE-wARn DETEcTiOn

EXTERnAL SEnSORS ARE OPTiOnAL uPGRADES. TALK TO yOuR DEALER. The optional
impact sensor is designed, in addition to detecting a full impact, to warn away potential violators
when it detects a light impact to the vehicle. The system will respond by chirping the siren/horn 3
times and locking the doors. This is very useful when an intruder attempts to unlock the door.

whEn ThE SySTEm TRiGGERS

If the system were to be compromised while armed, it will trigger, sounding the siren/horn and
flashing the parking lights for 30 seconds (programmable). When disarming the system after a
trigger event, the siren/horn will chirp 4 times and the parking lights will flash 4 times instead of the
standard 2 times.
LOcK On TRiGGER: If a door is opened when the system is triggered, it will wait until the door is
closed again, then lock the doors. This patented feature is useful to further deny a thief access to
the vehicle.
STORm SAFE mODE: When the system is triggered, disarming the system will stop the alarm
from sounding but will leave the doors locked. This function is useful if you have a false triggering
situation due to violent weather.
ZOnE ViOLATiOn REcALL: The system is capable of telling you which zones were triggered
last. The system's status light will flash to indicate which zone was triggered. This occurs during
the alarm cycle AND after disarming. The system will store the last triggered zone until the ve-
hicle's ignition key is turned on. See "The Status Light" section oon page 6 for further explanation
of this feature.
nuiSAncE PREVEnTiOn: If the system prewarns 5 times within 15 minutes, it will bypass the
zone for the remainder of the 15 minutes before rearming the pre-warn zone. Additionally, if a full
trigger zone is left open, the system will trigger a total of 3 times before bypassing the zone. Once
the zone is closed, it will re-arm that zone.

EmERGEncy OVERRiDE

If your controller isn't usable and your alarm is armed, you'll need to perform an emergency
override to disarm the system and use your vehicle. To do so, use the following steps:
STEP 1 - Enter the vehicle (the alarm should sound).
STEP 2 - Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position.
STEP 3 - Press the valet switch (located on the window-mount antenna) once.
STEP 4 - Turn the ignition "OFF".

VALET mODE

Valet mode disables all security & remote start functions. To enter Valet Mode:
STEP 1 - Disarm the system by remote or by performing an emergency override.
STEP 2 - Press and hold the valet switch for 2 seconds. The system will chirp once
and the status light will turn on.
EXiTinG VALET mODE - Press and release the valet switch once. The status light will turn off.
