known as a code grabber, which will receive and store the signal from your  
keychain transmitter and re-transmit at a later time to disarm your system.  
Your Keeloq Code Hopping transmitters will change their signal every time the  
button is pressed, so when a thief grabs then re-transmits your signal, the alarm  
system will not respond.  
If your transmitter button is pressed more than fifty times while it is out of range of  
the vehicle (children playing with your keys), the transmitter will not operate when  
you return to the vehicle, and will need to be re-aligned to the  
receiver. To do this, simply press button 1, (lock), two times within  
a one second time period. The system will now respond to that  
transmitter each time a button is pressed.  
NOTE:  
This system is custom configurable and can be set  
up to operate with a number of options controlled from any trans-  
mitter button or button combination. For reference, we will de-  
scribe operation assuming that your system is programmed for  
separate lock and unlock buttons. Also reference will be made to  
the icons as shown on the buttons left.  
NOTE: The LCD based remote will be explained in detail further in  
this manual See "System Status" described later in this manual.  
Consult your installation center if your system has been config-  
ured differently.  
NOTE: Your system has the option of using a siren, the vehicle  
horn, or both for the sounding device. Where the siren is refer-  
enced below, the horn or both may in fact chirp, or beep.  
ARMING THE SYSTEM - ACTIVE  
1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, and close all doors, hood lid and trunk lid.  
2. Press and release Lock/Arm button on the keychain transmitter.  
The dash mounted LED begins to flash slowly.  
Parking Lights flash one time.  
Siren sounds one chirp.  
If the siren/horn sounds 3 chirps, then you have left a door, trunk, or  
hood lid ajar. Simply close the opened entry point to provide full protec-  
tion. If the siren "chirped" three times, sometime after arming, the  
exclusive delayed dome light learn circuit has been programmed and  
the system detected a open entry point after the learned delay expired.  
Again, closing the hood, trunk, or doors will correct the problem and you  
do not need to disarm the system to make the correction. If the siren/  
horn did not sound when arming, then the chirps have been turned off  
and you should refer to the section titled "ELIMINATING THE ARM/DIS-  
ARM CHIRPS" in this manual.  
Doors Lock - Optional  
NOTE: If the optional Headlamp illumination feature has been added, and has  
been selected for operation when arming, as an added convenience, the  
system will turn on the headlights when the system is armed.  
SILENT ARMING - ACTIVE (Must be activated during programming)  
1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle and close all doors, hood lid and trunk lid.  
2. Press and hold the Lock/Arm button on the keychain transmitter for 2  
seconds.

The dash mounted LED begins to flash slowly.  
Parking Lights flash one time.  
Siren will not sound.  
If the siren "chirped" three times, sometime after arming, the exclusive delayed  
dome light learn circuit has been programmed and the system detected a open  
entry point after the learned delay expired. Closing the hood, trunk, or doors will  
correct the problem and you do not need to disarm the system to make the  
correction.  
Doors Lock - Optional  
NOTE: If the optional Headlamp illumination feature has been added, and has  
been selected for operation when arming, as an added convenience, the sys-  
tem will turn on the headlights when the system is armed.  
The LCD Remote has the following response:  
ARMING THE SYSTEM - PASSIVE (AUTOMATIC)  
(Must be activated during programming)  
1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle and close and lock all doors, hood lid and  
trunk lid.  
The dash mounted LED begins to flash rapidly, indicating 30 second passive  
arming has begun.  
2. Opening any protected entry point during the 30 second passive arming cycle  
will immediately suspend automatic arming and the 30 second passive arm-  
ing cycle will re-start when all doors are closed. At the end of the passive  
arming cycle;  
The dash mounted LED begins to flash slowly.  
Parking Lights flash one time.  
Siren sounds one chirp  
If the siren did not sound when arming, then the chirps have been turned off and  
you should refer to the section titled “ELIMINATING THEARM / DISARM CHIRPS“  
in this manual.  
Doors Lock - Optional  
Door locking during passive arming is a selectable feature. The alarm can be  
programmed to allow the doors to lock only when arming using the keychain  
transmitter and they will not automatically lock during passive arming.  
PROTECTION WHILE THE SYSTEM IS ARMED  
Opening any protected door, hood or trunk lid will cause the alarm to imme-  
diately 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 trig-  
gered zone.\  
Whenever the system is armed, the dash mounted LED indicator will slowly  
flash. This serves as a visual deterrent to the potential thief. The LED 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.  
Optional - 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.

If the parking lights flashed three times, then the alarm was triggered in your  
absence. Before turning the key on, examine the LED to identify which zone was  
triggered.  
Siren sounds two chirps.  
If the siren sounds 4 chirps, then the alarm was triggered in your absence. Before  
turning the key on, examine the LED 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.

WHILE THE SYSTEM IS SOUNDING  
If during a triggered state, you wish to shut off the siren without disarming your  
security system, simply press and release any transmitter button other than the  
Unlock/Disarm button. This action 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.  
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 trigger-  
ing device that may have been added to the system.  
If the LED is flashing two times...pause...two times...pause...etc., then  
an intrusion attempt 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.  
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 transmit-  
ter or by activating your personalized manual override code.  
NOTE: Some units may include a combination Pushbutton/LED Switch in these systems the  
LED and Pushbutton Switch are one and the same.  
1. Enter the vehicle and turn the ignition key to the on position.  
Page 6

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.  
MANUALLYOVERRIDINGYOUR 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 inopera-  
tive.  
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 programming 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.)  
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 flash pattern reports the  
previously stored code, the new code was not entered correctly. Please repeat  
steps 1 through 7 above considering the following.  
NOTE: Acceptable digits 10ths or units are 1 through 9. The unit will not  
recognize a 0 (Zero), or no digit entered in any place, units or tenths.  
NOTE: If 15 seconds of inactivity expire or if the ignition switch is turned off for  
more then 5 seconds during any of the above steps, the unit will revert  
back to the last successfully stored code.

Custom Code Programming Example:  
To Change the code from the factory pre-assigned code of 11 to “52” you would do  
the following:  
1. Disarm the system by use of the transmitter or by use of the emergency  
override sequence.  
2. Turn the ignition switch to the on position.  
3. Within 10 seconds, press and release the valet/override switch, 3 times.  
4. 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.)  
5. Within 10 seconds, begin to press and release the pushbutton switch to set  
the tenths digit.  
(As per the example, press and release 5 times to set the tenths digit to 5)  
6. Within 10 seconds of the last press of the pushbutton, turn the ignition switch  
off then on.  
7. Within 10 seconds, begin to press and release the pushbutton switch to set  
the units digit.  
(As per the example, press and release 2 times to set the units digit to 2).  
8. Turn the ignition switch to the off position. Immediately observe the LED flash  
pattern.  
You will note the LED flashing five times, pause, and then flash two times, pause.  
This pattern will be repeated three times indicating the new code (52) has been  
accepted and stored in memory.  
NOTE: If after step 7, the LED flashes a code other than what was just entered,  
this indicates that the code has not been changed. You will have to repeat  
steps 1 through 7 above being certain to note the following:  
Acceptable digits 10ths or units are 1 through 9. The unit will not recognize a 0  
(Zero), or no digit entered in any place, units or tenths.  
NOTE: If 15 seconds of inactivity expire, or if the ignition switch is turned off for  
more then 5 seconds during any of the above steps, the unit will revert  
back to the last successfully stored code.  
MANUALLY OVERRIDINGYOUR SYSTEM:  
USING THE CUSTOM CODE OVERRIDE  
Assuming the override code programmed has not been changed, and the default  
override code of 11 is in the system's memory.  
1. Enter the vehicle and turn the ignition switch to the on position.  
NOTE: The siren will sound.  
2. Within 5 seconds, press and release the pushbutton switch 1 time.  
3. Within 5 seconds, turn the ignition switch off then on.  
4. Within 5 seconds, press and release the pushbutton switch 1 time.  
5. Turn the ignition switch off then on and start the vehicle.  
NOTE: If you have changed the programmed override code then substitute your  
new code tenths for step 2 above, and units for step 5 above.  
ELIMINATING THE NORMALARM / DISARM CHIRPS  
As explained earlier in the manual, you can eliminate the chirps selectively any  
time you arm or disarm the system, if the feature has been activated, simply by  
holding the ARM or DISARM button for two seconds. If you find the normal arming  
and disarming chirps annoying, they can be turned off permanently, eliminating  
the need to hold the ARM / DISARM button for 2 seconds. To do this,  
Page 8  
128-7404A

1. Turn the ignition key on then off.  
2. Within 10 seconds, press and release valet switch three times.  
3. If the chirps were on before you started, then you will hear two chirps indicat-  
ing they have been turned off.  
If the chirps were off before you started, then you will hear one chirp indicating  
they have been turned on.  
NOTE: Whenever the chirps are bypassed, the 4-chirp intrusion indicator  
and 3 chirp defective zone indicator will always operate. Since these are  
important warnings to you that something has happened, they cannot be  
eliminated.  
NOTE: Your system must be programmed by the installation center to en-  
able this feature.  
REMOTE PANIC OPERATION  
The Lock or Unlock button on your keychain transmitter also functions as a panic  
switch for use in emergency situations. To use remote panic,  
1. Press and hold the Lock or Unlock button on the keychain transmitter for 3 or  
more seconds. The alarm will immediately sound.  
2. To stop the alarm, press and hold the Lock or Unlock button on the transmitter  
again for 3 seconds. If the button is not pressed, the alarm will automatically  
stop after 30 seconds. Also if any transmitter button other than the Lock or  
Unlock button is pressed and released, the Panic mode will be turned off  
immediately. The normal function of this transmitter button will be suspended  
during the Panic sounding period.  
3. During the panic mode, the Lock and Unlock buttons can be used to lock and  
unlock the doors, (if the option is installed), however once the unlock/disarm  
button is pressed, the vehicle's starter inhibit device, (where installed) will be  
disabled allowing the vehicle to start.  
NOTE: While in the Panic mode, pressing and releasing the Lock or Un-  
lock buttons will, if the option is installed, lock and unlock the doors respectively.  
While in the panic mode, anytime the Unlock button is pressed, the panic feature  
will continue for the allotted 30 seconds, however, the security system will be  
disarmed allowing the vehicle to start.  
RF SHOCK SENSOR MODE SELECTION  
The way in which your alarm system reacts to threatening vibrations, created by  
attempts to enter the vehicle by breaking a window, is adjustable by the transmitter  
immediately after arming. There are 4 modes of operation that can be selected  
by the operator:  
1. Normal Operation (default mode)  
In this mode, any strong vibrations will cause the siren to sound (full  
detect) for 30 seconds. Any lesser vibration will cause the siren to emit  
about 6 short warn away chirps, (pre-detect).  
2. Stage 1 (Omit pre-detect)  
In this mode, the warn away chirps created by the lesser vibration will be  
deleted. If strong vibration occurs, the siren will sound.  
3. Stage 2 (Omit pre & full detect)  
In this mode, both the pre-detect stage and the full trigger stage of the sensor  
are defeated. The unit will not react to vibration of any magnitude.  
NOTE: Shock Sensor Icon Is Displayed On The LCD Panel.  
Page 9  
128-7404A  
9 of 24  
 
4. Stage 3 (City Mode)  
In this mode, the pre-detect chirps will change from six pre-warning tones to  
a full 10 seconds of warning chirps.  
The full detect trigger duration will be reduced from 30 seconds to 15 seconds.  
NOTE: Setting the stage of the shock sensor will be effective for one arming cycle  
only. Once the system has been disarmed, the very next arming cycle will  
cause the sensor to default to the normal operation stage.  
To change or adjust the shock sensor, press and release the ARM button of you  
keychain transmitter.  
1. Within 2 seconds of arming, press and release the ARM button 1 time, to  
defeat the pre-detect stage of the shock sensor. (The lights will flash and the  
siren will chirp once.)  
2. Within 2 seconds of step 1, press and release the ARM button 2 times, to  
defeat the pre and full detect stages of the shock sensor. (The lights will  
flash and the siren will chirp twice.)  
3. Within 2 seconds of step 1, press and release the ARM button 3 times to  
enter the "City Mode" of operation. (The lights will flash and the siren will chirp  
three times.)  
While under control of the remote start the system can be programmed to allow  
you to shunt the shock sensor from the transmitter. If the system has been such  
programmed, simply press the lock button of your keychain transmitter anytime  
during the remote start cycle. The shock sensor will be shunted for the entire run  
cycle and will resume normal operation after the remote start unit shuts off.  
Check with your installation center to determine if this feature has been pro-  
grammed into your system.  
SAFETY (Red Handled ) CONTROL SWITCH  
The control switch allows you to temporarily disable the remote starting function  
of your system. To disable the unit, move the red handled control switch to the off  
position.  
The control switch also allows you to select between 2 hour start up and 4 hour  
start up when using the automatic start up timer mode. The factory preset start up  
time for this mode is every 4 hours. To select between 2 or 4 hour start-up timer:  
1. Begin with the control switch in the on position.  
2. Turn the ignition switch on then off.  
3. Within 10 seconds, move the control switch off, on, off, on (2 switch cycles) to  
select a 2 hour start timer. After 10 seconds expire, the parking lights will  
flash and the siren will chirp 2 times confirming that the two hour start cycle is  
set. Or, within 10 seconds move the control switch off, on, off, on, off, on,  
off, on (4 switch cycles) to select a 4 hour start timer. The parking lights will  
flash and the siren will chirp 4 times confirming that the 4 hour start timer is  
set.  
REMOTE STARTING THE VEHICLE  
The system WILL NOT start the vehicle if any one of the following conditions  
exists:  
1. The Vehicle Hood Is Opened.  
2. The Gear Selector Is In Any Gear Other Then Park.  
3. The Brake Is Depressed.  
4. The Safety Control Switch Is In The Off Position.

every time the vehicle's engine is turned off. This feature requires the system to be  
set up for turbo timer during installation. Consult with your installation center to be  
certain this feature was activated and how long the vehicle will continue to run, 3,  
5, or 10 minutes after the ignition switch is turned off.  
To activate the turbo timer:  
Anytime the engine is running for more than 15 seconds:  
1) Place the gear selector in park.  
2) Set the parking, (hand), brake.  
3) Be certain your foot is off the brake pedal.  
4) Press the program/Push-Button switch 2 times within 5 seconds.  
The parking lights will flash two times indicating the mode was successfully  
entered.  
If your parking lights flashed four times, this indicates the turbo mode was on and  
is now turned off.  
With the turbo timer mode selected on, after you've arrived at your destination,  
while the engine is still running, set the parking brake, pause 2 seconds, then turn  
the ignition switch to the off position. The engine will continue to run the allotted  
time according to the selection during installation.  
If you do not want the vehicle to continue to run for one cycle, simply step on the  
vehicle's brake, or release the parking brake, or activate the transmitter's start  
button two times in succession. Any of these will cause the engine to turn off.
