Smart AutoTesting™

Each time you remotely arm the system, it tests all triggers and sensors. If the hood or
trunk is open when you remotely arm, the system will immediately alert you of the
problem by issuing 4 chirps and 4 parking light flashes instead of the usual 2 and 2. If a
door is ajar, you will receive the usual 2 chirps and flashes, then, 5 seconds later, there
will be 4 chirps and 4 flashes. (This door ajar warning will not work on vehicles that
have factory-delayed courtesy lights). If a sensor is malfunctioning, you will receive the
usual 2 chirps and 2 flashes, then, 10 seconds later, there will be 4 chirps and 4 flashes.

NOTE: Since this is a warning indication, you will hear the 4 chirps even if you
have the chirp muting feature turned on.

Specific malfunction identification:

The system can also indicate the specific

trigger or sensor that is malfunctioning. If you receive the 4-chirp/4-flash
signal upon remote arming, perform the following to identify the
malfunctioning trigger or sensor:

1. Remotely disarm, then turn on the ignition. The LED status indicator inside your

vehicle will be flashing, pause, then repeat.

2. Count the number of blinks in one cycle between pauses (for your convenience, the

blink cycle repeats a total of 5 times) and refer to the chart below:

Number of LED blinks between pauses

Malfunction

1 blink

Proximity Sensor

2 blinks

Optional sensor

3 blinks*

Door trigger*

4 blinks

Trunk trigger

5 blinks

Hood trigger

* If your vehicle has a factory-installed feature that turns off or dims the interior courtesy lights

several seconds after you exit the vehicle, the system cannot provide this indication.

Automatic malfunction bypass

To provide the utmost protection even if a system component malfunctions, your
IntelliGuard 800 will automatically bypass any faulty point and arm all other triggers and
sensors until you can have the system serviced by your local Authorized Dealer.

How to interpret the LED status indicator

The LED on your car’s dashboard or console will inform you of the system status:

LED Condition

Meaning

Off

System is disarmed and in normal operating mode (i.e., valet mode is off)

Valet mode is on, the vehicle can be driven or serviced without having to disarm

Flashing (ignition off)

System is armed and protecting your vehicle

Pause between flashes

Either a malfunction (see above) or an intrusion was attempted (see page 17)
