Page Recognition Mode The transceiver will leave a zone icon illuminated when it has received a triggered response and will wait for violation recogni- tion. Press any button on the transceiver, the LCD information and alarm page alerts will be cleared. note: The transceiver buttons will not send a command to the system until the alarm page is cleared.
passive arming The system can be programmed to arm automatically. This is called passive arming. In passive arming mode the system will arm itself 30 seconds after the user exits the vehicle and closes all protected entry points. Passive arming sequence 1.
vehicle protection Following are descriptions of the many ways this system protects the vehicle. Included are descriptions of the types of alarm pages and how to interpret them. D D o o o o r r L L o o c c k k s s ( ( i i f f a a v v a a i i l l a a b b l l e e ) ) - The system will automatically lock the vehicle doors when armed.
warn away ® response description A Warn Away Response consists of an alarm page along with the ® responses described below. S S h h o o c c k k S S e e n n s s o o r r - Light impacts to the vehicle will flash the vehicle lights and chirp the siren for a few seconds.
Page 25
D D o o o o r r T T r r i i g g g g e e r r - If a door is opened the siren will chirp for three seconds, then the siren will sound and the lights will flash for the programmed duration and report Zone 3.
arming/disarming while driving The alarm system can operate while the vehicle is being driven for added safety when driving through areas of questionable security. The alarm will only respond to the door trigger inputs and the Fail-Safe starter kill will be activated. Arming while driving Press for two seconds while the vehicle is running.
multi-level security arming Multi-Level Security Arming allows you to select which of the system's inputs or sensors will be active and which will be bypassed when the system is armed. (See Table of Zones section of this guide.) Pressing (only in standard configuration) again within five seconds of arming the system will activate the Multi-Level Security feature.
Continued pressing of Security Arming cycle over again. note: Multi-Level Security Arming only applies to a sin- gle arming cycle. Once the system is disarmed and then re-armed, all the zones will be active again. disarming Press to disarm the system. The vehicle’s lights will flash twice, the doors will unlock, the siren will chirp twice and the status LED will turn off.
high security disarm This security system offers High Security Disarm. High Security Disarm is a feature that makes it possible to silence and reset the system while it is triggered, without disarming the system. If the system is triggered and the siren has been sounding for longer than six seconds, press any button on the transceiver to stop the page, then press on the transceiver to stop the trigger and...

To disarm the security system, turn the ignition to the ON posi- tion. Press the Valet button the preset number of times (one to five times) within five seconds. The factory preset is one. After five seconds, the system will disarm.
silent mode To temporarily turn off the arm or disarm chirps, use Silent Mode™. Simply press arming or disarming, and the confirmation chirp(s) will be elim- inated for that one operation only. When Silent Mode has been used the silent arm/disarm mode icon will indicate silent arm/disarm.
The transceiver will beep (or vibrate) continuously when the system enters panic mode. The transceiver will not generate a page notification when panic mode is exited. valet mode You can prevent your security system from passive arming by using Valet mode. This is very useful when washing the vehicle or having it serviced.
4. Press again. The status LED will light solidly if you are entering Valet mode, and it will go out if you are exiting Valet mode. The transceiver will generate alarm/disarm page notifications since the observing buttons are used when entering and exiting valet mode. The status LED is the only way to ensure the system has entered/exited valet mode.
Page 34
note: The transceiver will generate a Page Notification with a different unique two-tone beep (or vibrate) and the remote start (19) icon will turn off when the remote start shuts down. 4. In gasoline vehicles, the engine will start four seconds after the parking lights flash.
To shut down the remote start and turn off the engine: While the vehicle is running during remote start operation, the system will monitor the vehicle and will automatically shut down the engine if the system receives any of the following shut- down inputs: The brake pedal is pressed.
® To perform Valet Take-Over: 1. Before turning off the engine, simultaneously press and release on the transceiver. A remote start page notification with a unique melody (or vibration) will be generated and the LCD will display the remote start icon (19) as long as the vehicle is running.
temperature check mode This system will report the interior temperature of your vehicle with the press of two buttons. To activate the temperature display press melody and the interior temperature will appear on the LCD screen for five seconds. note: If the ignition is on, the temperature check clock- mode will not work.
disabling the remote start system This feature allows your system's remote start unit to be temporarily disabled to prevent the vehicle from being remote started accidentally. This feature is useful if the vehicle is being serviced or stored in an enclosed area. To disable the remote start, move the shutdown toggle switch to the OFF position.
shut down inputs This security system uses several inputs to shut down the remote start operation of the motor or prevent remote start if certain inputs are active. The two most important are hood and brake inputs. The hood input will prevent the motor from starting, as well as shut it down, any time the hood is opened.
The vehicle doors are protected by NPC security system is triggered by an open door for three full cycles, the system will bypass the doors 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 igni- tion.
example, if your vehicle has an interior light exit delay and you arm your security system before the interior light turns off, you may hear a Bypass Notification. Once the light turns off, however, the security system resumes normal monitoring. disarming diagnostics Extra chirps that are heard when disarming the system are indi- cating a Tamper Alert.

interpreting zone diagnostics Warn Away responses are not reported by the arming or disarming diagnostics. If you receive a Bypass notification when arming or a Tamper Alert notification when disarming, look at the LED or transceiver LCD. Active or triggered zones will be indicated by a pattern of blinks by the LED or the transceiver icon will indicate the triggered zone.

When a Tamper Alert notification is generated upon disarming, the triggered zones will flash continuously on the transceiver LCD until reset by the ignition. To review the zones that have been triggered press the button. They flash five times, then turn off. c c o o d d e e h h o o p p p p i i n n g g The receiver and transmitters use a mathematical formula called an algorithm to change their code each time the transceiver is...
