Setting the Current Sensor
If your vehicle has electronic acces-
sories that turn on and off automati-
cally while you are away from the
vehicle, the alarm might sound false
alerts. (The system can detect an
electric engine fan, and does not
sound a false alert when the fan
comes on.)
To disable the current sensor so ac-
cessories will not trigger an alert, dis-
arm the system. Then hold down
PANIC for about 4 seconds. The sys-
tem beeps twice.
To re-enable the current sensor, with
the system disarmed, hold down
PAN-
IC for about 4 seconds. The system
beeps once.
Notes:
• The current sensor does not
operate for 40 seconds after the
system arms.
• You can also try unplugging or
disconnecting electronic acces-
sories such as radar detectors or
cellular phones when you leave
your vehicle, instead of disabling
the current sensor, to prevent the
false alerts.
Setting the Valet Mode
(Passive Arming/Disarming)
The valet mode lets you leave your
vehicle for service or with a valet and
not have it arm 60 seconds after you
turn off the engine. The default is for
the valet mode to be on (passive arm-
ing is off).
To have your system automatically
arm 60 seconds after you turn off the
engine (this is called passive arming),
hold down
DISARM for about 10 sec-
onds. The system beeps twice.
To turn on the valet mode (so the sys-
tem does not passively arm), hold
down
DISARM again for about 10 sec-
onds. The system beeps three times.
