ALARM ACTIVITY

The following characteristics enhance your vehicle's security :
If the Alarm system is active and the horn/siren is sounding :
•
Press the UNLOCK button ONCE to stop the alarm sound. The Alarm will remain active and will im-
mediately resound if a zone is (re)triggered.
•
Press the UNLOCK button TWICE to stop the alarm sound, deactivate the Alarm, and unlock the
doors.
•
When the vehicle is unlocked the horn/siren will sound with several short chirps to indicate the zone
that has previously triggered the Alarm. (See Remote-Start/Alarm Diagnostics page 13)
NOTE 1: If the vehicle is running with the Remote-Starter and the Alarm is triggered the Remote-Starter will
shut down immediately. This applies to Cold Start, Turbo and Idle Modes. However the vehicle can be Remote-
Started at a later time (i.e. The Alarm will not cancel Cold Start Timer).
NOTE 2: When an alarm infraction has occurred the LED on the antenna will quickly fl ash 3 times followed of
a long pause. It will continue to fl ash until the alarm is disabled.

OPEN ZONE NOTIFICATION

When the LOCK button is pressed to ARM the Alarm (non Valet Mode), it will indicate if there are any zones
which are currently active. The Alarm will sound with several short chirps to indicate which zone is active. A
silent ARM or only 1 chirp indicates that no zones are currently active. (See Remote-Starter/Alarm Diagnostics
page 13)

FALSE ALARM DEACTIVATION

This option will disable any zone that triggers the alarm 3 consecutive times. The zone will automatically re-
enable once the LOCK button or the UNLOCK button is pressed.

SHOCK SENSOR (ZONE 4)

The Alarm system supports FSS2Z (2 stage - 3 wire) Shock Sensors. The Shock Sensor will produce a short
audible warning on a weak shock, and will trigger a full alarm on a strong shock. Whenever the vehicle is run-
ning with the Remote-Starter the shock sensor is ignored until the Remote-Starter shuts down. However the
Alarm can be set to monitor the Shock Sensor if the vehicle is Armed AFTER the vehicle is Remote-Started.

VEHICLE LOCATOR/PANIC MODE

To locate your vehicle in a busy parking lot press the LOCK button for 3 seconds to sound the horn/siren (If
installed) and fl ash the parking lights. Press unlock to cancel this Mode.
Note: If an Alarm pre-triggered zone is in memory, this Mode will NOT clear this zone from memory.

TRANSMITTER RANGE

Several factors may affect the operating range of the remote transmitter:
•
A weak transmitter battery.
•
The operating environment such as in the city and airports due to radio interference, cell phone tow-
ers, etc...
•
Several types of metal such as the vehicle itself, other vehicles, the windshields tint lines and large
buildings.
•
The vehicle's shape. Vans generally have poorer range.
•
The shape of the vehicle's roof and the A-pillars cause considerable radio-frequency defl ection. As a
result, the direction in which the vehicle is facing with relation to the remote transmitter can affect
range. Facing the front of the vehicle generally produces the greatest range; secondly facing the back.
Facing either side of the vehicle will usually give the poorest range.
•
The range will be signifi cantly poorer in crowded parking lots as opposed to empty parking lots.
•
Hold the transmitter at shoulder height or hold it against your chin so your body acts as a larger an-
tenna.
•
The operating range will be somewhat poorer on vehicles equipped with a factory alarm or keyless entry
system.
