Emergency Override
In case your Remote Transmitter becomes inoperable, or it is lost or stolen, you can still enter
and drive your car by using the following procedure. Be sure that you have your ignition keys
ready and that you know the location of the override switch before you perform this procedure.
To override the system:
1. Unlock the door using the key.
2. Enter the vehicle.
• Because the system is armed, the system will trigger and the siren will be sounding.
3. Turn ignition key on.
4. Within, 4 seconds, press and hold the override switch.
• The system will disarm.
5. You can now start and drive the car.
Note: During installation, your installer can program the system to give 10 second entry delay when the system Arms
passively. When the door is opened while the system is Armed, the siren will give a series warning of chirps
for 10 seconds before sounding, giving you time to perform the emergency override procedure.
Automatic System Rearming
This feature, which can be turned on by your installer during the installation, insures the security
of the system by protecting your car in case of an accidental disarm.
If your system becomes disarmed due to an accidental press of the Arm/Disarm Button, the
system will automatically rearm if no other activity is detected within one minute.
One minute after Remote Disarming, the system will alert you with a 10 second series of chirps,
then arm. (If the Passive Door Locking feature is selected during the installation, the system will
also relock the doors.)
Any of the following will cancel Automatic System Rearming:
• Turn on the ignition.
• Open the Trunk or Hood.
• Activate Auxiliary Function.
Automatic System Rearming is independent of Passive Arming and only takes place if the system
was Armed (actively or passively) for at least 10 seconds and then Disarmed by the Remote
Transmitter.
Full Time System Diagnostics
The system continuously monitors all protected zones, even when it is not armed, and warns you
if it detects a problem when you turn off the ignition.
1. Turn off the ignition.
2. If the siren chirps twice, the system has detected a problem.*
3. The status LED will flash to indicate the zone where the problem has been detected.
1 flash = door
2 flashes = Shock Sensor
3 flashes = hood / trunk
* The system must see the zone open or active for at least 20 seconds before the zone is determined to be defective.
This way, opening the car door before turning off the ignition will not cause the siren to emit the warning chirps.
