will turn off the siren yet leave the vehicle fully armed and protected. This feature is particularly
useful if you are aware of children playing near your vehicle that may accidently trigger your security
system. In this case you can cancel the siren sounding without disarming your alarm.
INTRUSION WARNING SIGNALS
This system will inform you if an intrusion attempt has occurred while you were away from the
vehicle. If an intrusion attempt has occurred, the siren will chirp 4 times and the parking lights
will flash 3 times when disarming the system. Enter the vehicle and observe the red dash mounted
LED to identify which zone was triggered.
n If the LED is flashing one time...pause...one time...pause...etc., then an intrusion attempt
was made to the shock sensor, or an accessory triggering device that may have been
added to the system.
o If the LED is flashing two times...pause...two times...pause...etc., then an intrusion at-
tempt was made to a hood or trunk pin switch that was added to the system or to a light
activated entry point if the alarm was installed using the voltage sensing feature.
p If the LED is flashing three times...pause...three times...pause...etc., then an intrusion
attempt was made through one of the vehicle’s doors.
These intrusion warning indicators are stored in the system’s memory and will only be erased
when the ignition key is turned on.
VALET SWITCH
The valet switch allows you to temporarily bypass all alarm functions, eliminating the need to hand
your transmitter to parking attendants or garage mechanics. When the system is in valet mode, all
alarm functions are bypassed, however the remote panic feature and remote door locks will remain
operational. In addition, the parking lights will flash to indicate locking and unlocking. To use the
valet mode, the system must first be disarmed either by using your keychain transmitter or by
activating your personalized manual override code.
1. Enter the vehicle and turn the ignition key to the on position.
2. Press and hold the valet pushbutton switch until the dash mounted LED turns on
solid. The system will remain in the valet mode.
3. To return to normal operation, press and release the pushbutton switch any time the
ignition is on.
NOTE: Always remember to return the system to normal operation. This will ensure that the
vehicle remains protected at all times.
MANUALLY OVERRIDING YOUR SYSTEM:
USING THE VALET SWITCH MANUAL OVERRIDE
Your Security System can be disarmed without the use of the keychain transmitter. This is necessary, since
you will need the ability to operate your vehicle if the transmitter is lost or its battery fails. If your system has
been selected for Valet Switch manual override as indicated on the last page of this manual, to bypass the
alarm system;
1. Open the vehicle door. The alarm will sound.
2. Turn the ignition key to the on position.
3. Within 5 seconds, press and release the valet pushbutton switch.
The alarm system will stop sounding and enter the (bypass) mode. You can now start and operate
the vehicle normally.
Typically this override mode is used only if the transmitter has become inoperative.
PROGRAMMING YOUR CUSTOM OVERRIDE CODE:
Unlike override switches easily found, and defeated, this security system allows the consumer to program a
personal override code, offering a higher level of security. To take advantage of this option, programmable
feature # 10 must be selected for the Custom Code Option. Consult your installation center for program-
ming details. The system comes from the factory with a pre-programmed override code of 11. To change
this default override code, do the following:
1. Disarm the system by use of the transmitter, or by use of the emergency override sequence.
Turn the ignition switch to the on position.
2. Within 10 seconds, press and release the valet/override switch, 3 times.
3. Within 10 seconds turn the ignition switch off, on, off, on, off, on. (The siren or
horn will beep and the lights will flash one time with each ignition switch cycle.)
4. Within 10 seconds, begin to enter your chosen 10ths digit by pressing and releasing the
pushbutton switch from 1 up to 9 times.
5. Within 10 seconds of the last entered 10ths digit, turn the ignition switch off then on.
6. Within 10 seconds, begin to enter your chosen units digit by pressing and releasing the
pushbutton switch from 1 up to 9 times.
7. Finish by turning the ignition switch to the off position.
If the new code was accepted, the unit will report back the newly entered code, by flashing the LED,
first indicating the 10ths digit, pause and then the units digit. The unit will report the new code three
times with a one second pause between each code, then the system will begin arming. If the LED
