➜ system maintenance The system requires no specific maintenance. Your remote is powered by a small, lightweight 3-volt lithium battery that will last approximately one year under normal use. When the battery begins to weaken, operating range will be reduced and the LED status indicator on the remote will dim.

disarm your vehicle security system. To disarm the system without a transmitter, you must have the vehicle's ignition key and know where the Valet switch is located. Be sure to check with your installer at the time of installation for both the loca- tion and the preset response (1-5 presses) of the Valet switch.
➜ panic mode If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can attract attention by triggering the system with your transmitter. Just press and hold for 1.5 seconds to enter Panic Mode. In Panic Mode, the horn will honk and the parking lights will flash for 30 seconds.

➜ disabling the remote engine starting system This feature allows your system's remote engine starting 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.
The vehicle doors are protected by FACT differently. If your 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.
➜ 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.
also record and report any triggers that occurred during your absence. ➜ arming diagnostics If the security system is armed at the same time that an input is active (such as a door opening or sensor triggering), you will hear one siren chirp to indicate arming and a second siren chirp to indicate Bypass Notification.
(FACT) has bypassed that zone. In either case, the LED status indicator will indicate which zone was involved (see Table of Zones section). The security system will retain this information in its memory and chirp four or five times each time it is dis- armed, until the next time that the ignition is turned on.
