Easy Valet Mode; Status Indicator Light - Crime Guard 328i3 Operation Manual

EASY VALET MODE

Easy Valet Mode: This allows you to turn off all off the "alarm" operations
of the security system while retaining the remote convenience features such
as keyless entry, Panic, and the Auxiliary Outputs. The system may only be
placed into Easy Valet when it's disarmed; if armed, an Emergency Override
must be performed before placing into Easy Valet Mode. Once the system
is in Easy Valet Mode, it cannot become armed from
the transmitter, Last Door Arming, or Automatic Rearming.
Although both use the Valet Switch, Easy Valet Mode and Emergency
Override are two similar, but different procedures. Emergency Override
disarms an armed and activated system, and requires the ignition key. Easy
Valet Mode turns off the alarm operations of the disarmed system, but
without the need of the ignition key.
Easy Valet mode is designed for situations in which it is not convenient
for the security portion of the system to be operational. For example: During
extended stopovers for vehicle servicing, maintenance, valet parking, wash-
ing, etc.

STATUS INDICATOR LIGHT

The Red Status Indicator Light visually confirms the status of the system and
provides a high level of visual deterrence. Additionally, the Status Indicator
Light is also part of the patented Automatic Transmitter Verification feature
and the Zone Violation Code feature. The Status Indicator Light, which
shares a housing assembly with the Valet Switch, is normally mounted in a
location where it can be easily seen by the driver, as well as from outside the
vehicle.
Security System Status: The primary function of the Status Indicator
Light is to indicate the status of the security system:
1) Off = The system is disarmed and not performing automatic functions.
2) On Constant = The system is in the Easy Valet Mode.
3) Flashing Slow = The system is fully armed.
4) Flashing Fast = Last Door Arming or Automatic Rearming is in progress.
Automatic Transmitter Verification: For the first 10 seconds after
the vehicle's ignition is turned on, the Status Indicator Light will flash a
number of times equal to the number of transmitters that are capable of
operating the system:
5) 1 Flash /pause = 1 transmitter is programmed.
6) 2 Flashes /pause = 2 transmitters are programmed.
7) 3 Flashes /pause = 3 transmitters are programmed.
8) 4 Flashes /pause = 4 transmitters are programmed.
Zone Violation Code: If the system enters an alarm condition, the Red
Status Indicator Light will stop flashing slowly and begin to flash in
sequence to indicate which protected zone caused the alarm condition. The
Status Indicator Light will flash and pause to indicate which protected zone
was violated while the system is still armed, after it's disarmed, and until the
vehicle's ignition is turned on. The system's Zone Violation Code circuit can
store two consecutive zone violations. If there have been multiple violations,
the Status Indicator Light will replay the two most recent violations in the
order in which they occurred.
9) 2 Flashes /Pause = System was triggered through the hood or trunk.
10) 3 Flashes /Pause = System was triggered through the door.
11) 4 Flashes /Pause = System was triggered by an optional sensor.
Note: Turning on the ignition will clear the Zone Violation Code.
