Transmitter functions The system uses a computer-based learn routine to learn the transmitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any transmitter button to any system function. The transmitter initially comes programmed with Standard Configuration, but may also be customized by an authorized dealer. The buttons in all of the instructions in this manual correspond to a Standard Configuration transmitter.
ASSIVE ARMING The system also can be programmed to arm itself automatically (called passive 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.
Press a fourth time within five seconds: The siren chirps four times followed by a long chirp. Zones 2 and 4 are now bypassed. Press a fifth time within five seconds: The siren chirps five times followed by a long chirp. All input zones, except the ignition, are now bypassed.
ISARMING WITHOUT A TRANSMITTER This feature allows you to disarm the security system without the remote transmitter should it be lost or damaged. In order to disarm the system without a remote transmitter, you must have the vehicle’s ignition key and know where the Valet button is located. Be sure to check with the installer for the location and the number of presses of the Valet button required to disarm the system.
security system will not arm, even with the remote transmitter, but all convenience functions (door locks, trunk release, etc.) will continue to work normally. ® To enter or exit Valet Mode: 1. Turn the ignition on. 2. Turn the ignition off. 3.
Doors and ignition are covered by NPC ignition on cycle for three full cycles, the doors will be bypassed until the trigger ceases. Note: Arming and disarming the system does not reset this function! The only ways to reset a bypassed zone are for it to not trigger for 60 minutes, or to turn on the ignition.
YSTEM STATUS CHIRPS The siren will chirp when arming/disarming the system. The pattern of chirps will audibly report the system’s status as described below. Action Disarm Disarm Disarm ABLE OF ZONES The zone number is the number of LED flashes used by the system to identify that input. The standard input assignments are listed below, along with spaces to write in any optional sensors or switches you have had installed.
Code hopping Both the receiver and transmitters use mathematical formulas called algorithms to change their codes each time the transmitter is used. This technology has been developed to increase the security of the unit. The control unit knows what the next codes should be. This helps to keep the transmitter “in sync”...
Power saver mode Your system will automatically enter Power Saver Mode while armed or in Valet Mode, after a long period of time in which no operation has been performed. This lowers the current draw to the vehicle’s battery. Power Saver Mode takes over under the following conditions: Power Saver when the system is armed: After the system has been armed for 24 hours, the LED will flash at half its normal rate, decreasing the system’s current draw.

been left ajar when leaving the vehicle. Forced passive arming ensures that the security system will be armed in every situation. Note: When the system passively arms after one hour, the entry point that has been left open, and anything connected to the same zone, is bypassed and cannot trigger the system.
Installation options The system has many options that may require extra parts and labor. Some of the possibilities are listed here. Progressive unlocking: In most cars with electric power door locks, the system can be configured so that when the system is disarmed, only the driver’s door unlocks. A second press of the button unlocks the other doors.
vehicle, the system will trigger as the door is opened and closed. This is how the system works to combat intersection carjacking. To protect against parking lot carjacking, arm the VRS leaving the vehicle. The system will now trigger automatically the next time you or anyone drives the vehicle.
If the system has entered the triggered sequence (siren has begun chirping), pressing the disarm ® ® ® button of the transmitter will not disarm VRS . To disarm the VRS during a VRS trigger sequence: 1. Turn the ignition on. 2.
Power Window Control: This device allows remote power window control, ask your dealer for more information. AstroStart Remote Start System: For the ultimate in convenience, the AstroStart system can start your vehicle, monitor engine functions, and power your climate control system with a push of a button.
REFERENCE GUIDE You can lock the doors, and arm the system by pressing the O ARM AND LOCK When the system arms, you will hear a short siren sound, or chirp, and the parking lights will flash once. If USING YOUR REMOTE To disarm the system and unlock the doors, press the O DISARM AND UNLOCK lights will flash twice.
