Disarming The Hi-Jack Feature; Secured Mode Of Operation - Prestige APS-25HT Owner's Manual

The intent of the chirp signals is a warning that the next stage will begin the shut
down sequence, first causing the engine to hesitate and then in stage 4 to stall.
Stage 3 For the next 30 seconds, the unit will begin to flash the parking lights, sound the
siren, and pulse the ignition system on and off. This stage calls attention to the
vehicle by flashing the lights, sounding the siren, and pulsing the ignition circuit,
causing the engine to slow down.
Stage 4 At this point, the ignition circuit is inhibited, (The vehicle turns off), the siren
continues to sound, and the lights continue to flash. After 30 seconds, the siren
stops sounding, yet the ignition remains inhibited and the lights continue to flash.
Because, the engine is disabled, typically the thief will abandon the vehicle.
If you are the unfortunate victim of a vehicle Hi-Jack, for your personal safety, it is best to
leave the vehicle as quickly as possible. Never attempt to oppose the thief in any way. If the
thief prevents you from leaving the vehicle, disarm the Hi-Jack feature to prevent the system
from sounding while you are in the presence of your captor. Once you exit the vehicle,
opening and then closing the door will initiate the Hi-jack feature and the vehicle will be
disabled after the 4 stages described above are complete.
NOTE: If at anytime during stage three or four the ignition is turned off then on, the system
will allow the vehicle to start one time for 15 seconds. The circuit will then begin
pulsing the ignition on then off for an additional 15 seconds, after which the ignition
will be inhibited until the unit is reset. The intent of this last start is to allow the vehicle
to be moved off the road, out of the way of traffic. The parking lights will continue
to flash after a Hi-Jack attempt until the circuit is reset. This is to insure the vehicle
is highly visible regardless of where it might have been abandoned.

DISARMING THE HI-JACK FEATURE

Anytime after the Hi-Jack mode has been triggered, the circuit can be disarmed simply by
pressing the hidden push button switch. Depressing this switch one time will cause the
security system to reset the Hi-Jack mode. The circuit will not trigger again unless the door
is opened and then closed while the vehicle is running.

SECURED MODE OF OPERATION

The secured mode of operation is available regardless of whether or not the normal Hi-Jack
feature is enabled. This feature can be programmed to operate every time the alarm system
is armed, (Passive) or only when you activate the hidden push button switch, (Active). The
secured mode is used in areas where the operator of the vehicle may be attacked returning
to their car. Shopping mall parking lots, dark streets, hidden driveways are typical places a
thief may hide waiting for the operator to return to their vehicle. Placing the unit in the
secured mode allows the owner to readily offer their keys to the thief with confidence that
the vehicle cannot be driven very far.
To Enter The Secured Mode (Passive):
1. Exit the vehicle, close all doors.
2. If the alarm system is selected for Passive alarm arming, allow the vehicle to arm.
