PROTECTION WHILE THE SYSTEM IS ARMED
 Opening any protected door, hood, or trunk lid will cause the alarm to immediately
sound. The alarm will continue to sound for 30 seconds, then stop and continue
to monitor all protected entry points. If the thief left a door opened, the alarm will
sound for six 30 second cycles, remain armed and ignore that triggered zone.
 Whenever the system is armed, the red dash mounted L.E.D. indicator will slowly
flash. This serves as a visual deterrent to the potential thief. The L.E.D. is a very
low current bulb, and will not cause the vehicle’s battery to drain, even when left
unattended for extended periods.
 Whenever the system is triggered, the vehicle’s parking lights will flash for the full 30
second alarm cycle, attracting visual attention to the vehicle.
 Whenever the system is triggered, the vehicle’s horn will beep for the full 30 second
alarm cycle, attracting added attention to the vehicle.
 Optional - Whenever the system is triggered, the interior courtesy lights will flash for
the full 30 second alarm cycle.
 Whenever the system is armed, the vehicle’s starting circuit will be bypassed. If the
thief should choose to ignore the siren, the vehicle can not be started.
 Any mild impact to the vehicle’s glass will cause the alarm to sound a short series of
warning tones.
 Any strong impact to the vehicle’s glass will cause the alarm to trigger for the full 30
second alarm cycle.
DISARMING THE SYSTEM
1. As you approach the vehicle, press and release the ARM / DISARM button on the keychain
transmitter.
 Red dash mounted L.E.D. turns off.
If passive arming was selected during the installation, then the L.E.D.
will start flashing rapidly, indicating that the system is re arming auto-
matically. Open any door to suspend the automatic arming.
 Parking Lights flash two times.
If the parking lights flashed three times, then the alarm was triggered in
your absence. Before turning the key on, examine the L.E.D. to identify
which zone was triggered.
 Siren sounds two chirps.
If the siren sounds 4 chirps, then the alarm was triggered in your ab-
sence. Before turning the key on, examine the L.E.D. and refer to the
INTRUSION WARNING SIGNALS section of this manual to identify
which zone was triggered.
If the siren did not sound when disarming, then the chirps have been
turned off, and you should refer to the section titled “ ELIMINATING
THE ARM / DISARM CHIRPS “ in this manual.
 Vehicles horn beeps two times.
If the horn beeps four times, then the alarm was triggered in your ab-
sence. Before turning the key on, examine the L.E.D. and refer to the
INTRUSION WARNING SIGNALS section of this manual to identify
which zone was triggered.
