Alarm State Memory
If your vehicle battery is disconnected and later reconnected, the system will
automatically return to its last state before power was removed, whether it was
armed, disarmed or in Protected Valet Mode. For example, if a mechanic
disconnects the battery while the alarm is disarmed or in Protected Valet
Mode, he won’t trigger the alarm when he reconnects the battery. Yet if a thief
removes power while the alarm is armed and reconnects it, the alarm will
instantly sound, the parking lights will flash and the starter will be disabled.
Automatic Malfunction Override
In the event of a faulty sensor or alarm input trigger zone, the alarm, when
remotely armed, will alert you by a series of chirps and parking light flashes.
How to Interpret the Chirps and Parking Light Flashes
When you press the remote control buttons, the system will respond with
chirps and flashes of the parking lights to indicate the system status. An
explanation of these chirp/flash acknowledgments is listed below.
