The alarm diagnostic by LED projects a LED flash sequence immediately after disarming and will
remain in that state of alarm memory until the ignition is turned ON.

Troubleshooting Poor Transmitting Range

• Many factors may affect the operating range of the transmitter. Some of these are:
• The condition of the battery in the transmitter.
• The operating environment (for example: downtown radio-frequency noise, airports, cellular
phone towers...)
• Metal: any type of metal will affect operating range. This includes the metal in the car.
• The shape of the vehicle can affect range as well; vans in general have an especially poor
range.
• The shape of the roof and A-pillars brings about considerable radio-frequency deflection (in this
case the signal from the remote control). As a result, the direction in which the vehicle is facing
in relation to the remote control can affect the range. Straight on – standing in front of the
vehicle – generally gives you the greatest range; the second best performance is from the back.
Using the remote control from either side of the vehicle will usually give the lowest range.
• The range will be significantly lower in a crowded parking lot than in open space.
• Always hold the transmitter high, approximately at shoulder height. Holding the transmitter
against your chin will also increase your range: your head acts as an antenna.
• The operating range will be somewhat lower on vehicles equipped with an aftermarket or factory
alarm.

Note:
If you wish to exit a function while still in the process of accessing it, simply stop and wait for at
