Solution
• An X-band motion sensor or intrusion alarm is located within
range of your route. With time, you will learn predictable
patterns of these signals.
• Make sure that windshield wipers do not block Passport’s
radar antenna and that the laser lens is not behind tinted areas.
• Determine if your vehicle has an Instaclear
® , ElectriClear ® or
solar reflective windshield which may deflect radar or laser
signals.
• Passport may be in City Mode.
• VASCAR (Visual Average Speed Computer and Recorder) a
stopwatch method of speed detection, may be in use.
• Officer may not have radar or laser unit turned on.
• Safety transmitters may not be commonly used in your area.
• Press the Dim button to deactivate Dark Mode.
• Passport is in AutoMute Mode. See page 6 for details.
• Passport is not making contact with the windshield to
provide stability. While holding down Passport’s EasyMount

Passport to be briefly disconnected.
You can return all of the programming options to the factory
