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.
Ž 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 park-
ing 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 inopera-
tive.
