Remote Control (490-0875) Operation Faxback Doc. # 8908 Alarm System Your alarm system has three methods for detecting unauthorized entry into your vehicle. The motion sensor sets off the alarm if it detects movement. The pin switches set off the alarm if someone opens the trunk or hood. The door switches set off the alarm if someone opens a door. In addition, the starter disable module prevents an unauthorized person from starting the vehicle. The system has several features that let you control how the system works. For example, you can control the motion sensor's sensitivity or turn it off completely. You can disarm the system so that the siren does not sound, or even turn off the alarm system. TURNING THE SYSTEM ON AND OFF The system is normally on, so that it can automatically arm when you leave the vehicle. However, you might not want the system to arm for valet parking or car repair. * To turn off the system, turn on the ignition and set VALET/NORMAL on the indicator module VALET. The green indicator lights. The system will not automatically arm, and you cannot arm it with the transmitter. * To turn on the system, turn on the ignition and set VALET/NORMAL to NORMAL. SETTING THE STARTER DISABLE MODULE To turn on the starter disable module, set AUTO BYPASS on the starter disable module to AUTO. When the system is armed, the disable module turns off the vehicle's starter. Your vehicle will not start unless you disarm the system with the remote transmitter. This prevents unauthorized persons from starting the vehicle. If the alarm system is not working properly, you can set AUTO/BYPASS to BYPASS so that the disable module no longer prevents you from starting the vehicle. ARMING THE SYSTEM Arming the system sets the alarm to sound and activates the starter disable module. Before you attempt to arm the system, be sure it is turned on. AUTOMATIC ARMING Be sure your vehicle's ignition has been on for at least 6 seconds. Then, turn off the ignition and step out of the vehicle. The system automatically arms 30 seconds after you close all doors, the hood, and the trunk. If you open the hood, the trunk, or a door during the 30-second delay, the system enters a stand-by mode. The status indicator's red and green lights flash, and the system does not arm. After you close the hood, trunk, and all the doors, the system restarts the 30-second delay period. At the end of the 30-second delay period, the system arms. If you use automatic arming, you have a 12-second entry delay during which time the alarm will not sound. REMOTE ARMING The transmitter has a range of up to 120 feet. To arm the system from outside the vehicle, press ARM on the transmitter. The status indicator's red light turns on, the vehicle's parking lights blink once (if connected), and the confirmation tone sounds if BEEP/SILENT is set to BEEP. The system is armed. If you use this method to arm the system, there is no entry delay. DISARMING THE SYSTEM The method for disarming the system depends on the method you used for arming the system. AFTER AUTOMATIC ARMING If you open the trunk, hood, or a door after automatic arming, the system begins a 12-second entry delay. During this delay, shut all doors, the trunk, and the hood and disarm the system in either of two ways: * Turn the ignition to the ON position. this turns off the siren, but does not turn off the disable module. To turn off the disable module so you can start the vehicle, you must turn the ignition to OFF and press DISARM on the transmitter. * Press DISARM on the transmitter with the ignition set to OFF. AFTER REMOTE ARMING If you armed the system with the remote transmitter, disarm it from outside the vehicle by pressing DISARM on the transmitter. This disables the alarm and turns off the starter disable module so that you can start the vehicle. The green indicator lights, the vehicle's lights blink twice (if connected), and the confirmation tone sounds if BEEP/SILENT is set to BEEP. TRIGGERING THE ALARM When someone triggers the alarm, the system sounds the siren, the pager, or both. * When automatically armed, if you open a door, the hood, or the trunk after the 30-second delay period, the alarm sounds after a 12-second entry delay. * If you open a door, the hood, or the trunk, when the system was remote armed, the alarm sounds instantly. * If you press ARM and DISARM at the same time on the transmitter, the siren sounds instantly, regardless of the SIREN/BOTH/ALERT switch's position. * If the motion sensor detects vibrations, the alarm sounds after 12 seconds if the system was automatically armed or instantly if the system was remote armed. The alarm sounds for 5 minutes or until you disarm the system. If you do not disarm the system, the system rearms and the red indicator blinks continuously, letting you know the alarm was activated. Note: The pager can notify you of a violation. SOUNDING THE PANIC ALARM This feature lets you summon help in case of an emergency. To sound the panic alarm, press ARM and DISARM on the remote transmitter at the same time. The parking lights flash (if connected) and the siren sounds immediately, regardless of the position of any of the controls. Note: The panic alarm does not operate when the ignition is on. LOCATING YOUR VEHICLE You can locate your vehicle in a dark area using the remote arm/disarm transmitter. The transmitter's range goes up to 120 feet. When you press the ARM button, the parking lights blink once. When you press the DISARM button, the parking lights blink twice. If you press and hold down ARM or DISARM, the parking lights flash continuously while you press down the button. (SMC/jlc-03/22/94)
