Long term event history

The system stores the last two full triggers in memory. These are not erasable.

Each time the unit sees a full trigger, the older of the two triggers in memory will

be replaced by the new trigger. To access long term event history:

1. With the ignition off, press and hold the Valet/Program

switch.

2. Turn on the ignition.

3. Release the Valet/Program switch.

4. Press and release the Valet/Program switch within 5 sec-

onds. The LED will flash in groups indicating the last two zones

that triggered the unit. The LED will flash for one minute or until

the ignition is turned off.

NOTE: The Warning Zone triggers are not stored to memory and will not be

reported.
