  • Page 7: Your System

    Your System Congratulations on the purchase of your state-of-the-art vehicle security system. This system has been designed to provide years of trouble-free operation. Due to the complexity of this system, it must be installed by an authorized dealer only. Installation of this product by anyone other than an authorized dealer voids the war- ranty.

  • Page 8: Transmitter Functions

    Transmitter Functions The receiver uses a computer-based Learn Routine to learn the transmitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any remote transmitter button, or combination of buttons, to any receiver function. The transmitter initially comes programmed with Standard Configuration, but may also be customized by an autho- rized dealer.

  • Page 9: Using Your System

    Using Your System Arming You can turn on, or arm, the system by pressing of your trans- mitter for one second. When the system arms, you will hear a short siren sound, or chirp, and see the parking lights flash once. If the vehicle’s power door locks are controlled by the system, the doors will lock.

  • Page 10: Arming While Driving

    When armed, your vehicle is protected in the following ways: Light impacts will trigger the Warn Away® signal. When trig- gered, the siren will chirp and the parking lights will flash for a few seconds. Heavy impacts will trigger the system. The trigger sequence is 30 seconds of constant siren and flashing parking lights.

  • Page 11: Disarming

    Disarming To turn off, or disarm the system, press again. You will hear two chirps, and the parking lights will flash twice. If power locks are controlled by the system, the doors will unlock. If the siren chirps either four or five times when disarming, see Diagnostics section.

  • Page 12: Silent Mode

    To disarm without a transmitter: Turn on the ignition. Push the Valet ® switch within 15 seconds. The sys- tem should now disarm. If it does DRW-35 not, you may have waited too long, so turn the ignition off and on and try again.

  • Page 13: Valet® Mode

    Valet® Mode You can prevent your system from automatically arming and trig- gering by using Valet Mode. This is very useful when washing the vehicle or having it serviced. In Valet Mode, the system will not arm, even with the transmitter, but all convenience functions (door locks, trunk release, etc.) will work normally.

  • Page 14: Nuisance Prevention® Circuitry, Npc

    Nuisance Prevention® Circuitry Your system has DEI's Nuisance Prevention® Circuitry (NPC ™ ). It prevents annoying repetitive trigger sequences due to faulty door pin switches or environmental conditions such as thunder, jack- hammers, airport noise, etc. Here's how it works: Let's say the alarm triggers three times. Each time, the same sensor or switch is triggering the alarm.

  • Page 15: Diagnostics

    Diagnostics The microprocessor at the heart of your system is constantly mon- itoring all of the switches and sensors connected to it. It detects any faulty switches and sensors and prevents them from disabling the entire system. The microprocessor will also record and report any triggers that occurred during your absence.

  • Page 16: Table Of Zones

    chirps are heard, a zone was triggered so many times that Nuisance Prevention® Circuitry has bypassed that zone. In either case, the Status LED will indicate which zone was involved (see Table of Zones section). The system will retain this information in its memory, and chirp four or five times each time it is disarmed, until the next time the ignition key is turned on.

  • Page 17: Code-Hopping

    Code-Hopping ™ The receiver and transmitters each use a mathematical formula called an algorithm to change their code each time the transmit- ter is used. This technology has been developed to increase the security of the unit. The control unit knows what the next codes should be.
  • Page 18 Arming/disarming confirmation chirps on or off. Passive door locking (with passive arming) or active door locking (only when arming with the transmitter). This feature only works if passive arming has been selected for step one. The ignition-switch-controlled door-locking feature on or off. With this feature on, the doors will lock 3 seconds after the key is turned on, and unlock when the key is turned off.

  • Page 19: Glossary Of Terms

    even if a protected entry has been left open. If a door has accidentally been left ajar when leaving the vehicle, forced passive arming ensures that the system will arm in one hour. NOTE: When forced passive arming occurs, the entry point that has been left open, and anything connected to the same zone, is bypassed and cannot trigger the system.
  • Page 20 Input: A physical connection to the system. An input can be pro- vided by a sensor, pinswitch or to existing systems in the vehicle, such as ignition or courtesy lights. LED: Red light mounted somewhere in the vehicle. It is used to indicate the status of your system.

  • Page 21: Security & Convenience Expansions

    Zone: A zone is a separate input that the alarm can recognize as unique. Each input to the system is connected to a particular zone. Often two or more inputs may share the same zone. Security & Convenience Expansions Here we have listed only some of the many expansion options available.
  • Page 22 proprietary acoustic software to determine if the glass has been struck. Power Trunk Release: The auxiliary output of the system can operate a factory power release for the vehicle’s trunk or hatch. (An optional relay may be required.) If the factory release is not power-activated, the DEI's 522T trunk-release solenoid can often be added.
