Setting the Valet Mode
The valet mode lets you leave your
vehicle for service or with a valet and
not have it passively arm. The default
is for the valet mode to be on (pas-
sive arming is off).
To have your system passively arm
60 seconds after you turn off the en-
gine, hold down
DISARM for about 10
seconds. The system beeps twice.
To turn the valet mode on again (so
the system does not passively arm),
hold down
DISARM for about 10 sec-
onds. The system beeps three times.
ARMING THE ALARM
To arm the alarm, press ARM . The
alarm chirps once.
Notes:
• The system ignores current-sens-
ing violations for 40 seconds after
you arm it.
• The system ignores shock-sen-
sor violations for 8 seconds after
you arm it.
• If the valet mode is turned off, the
system arms 60 seconds after
you turn off your vehicle.
Temporarily Reducing the
Shock Sensor’s Sensitivity
If you are parking in a severe weather
situation, near a construction zone, or
near heavy traffic, you can temporari-
ly reduce the system’s shock sensor
sensitivity to help prevent false alerts.
To reduce the sensitivity to half its
normal level, first press
ARM to arm
the system. The alarm chirps once.
Then, within 2 seconds, press
ARM
again. The alarm chirps once in a
lower tone.
To completely turn off the shock sen-
sor, press
ARM two times within 2
seconds of arming. The alarm chirps
in a lower tone each time you press
ARM .
Note: When you disarm and re-arm
the system, the shock sensor returns
to its previous sensitivity setting.
SOUNDING THE PANIC
ALARM
To sound a panic alarm, press and
release
PANIC . The alarm sounds
loud tones for 30 seconds. Press any
button to stop the panic alarm sooner.
