Automatic Malfunction Override 

— In the event of a faulty sensor

or alarm input trigger zone, the alarm, when remotely armed, will alert
you by a series of chirps and light flashes.

n

Instant Remote Control Code Deletion 

— In the event of a lost

or stolen remote control, all remote controls can be erased from memory
to prevent unauthorized alarm operation.  See the "Programming Table
for Remote Controls" on page 9.

n

Remote Control Code Learning 

— The alarm can be programmed

to accept as many as four separate remote controls. See the
"Programming Table for Remote Controls" on page 9.

n

Alarm State Memory 

— If your car’s battery is disconnected and

later reconnected, the system will automatically return to its last state
before power was removed, whether it was armed, disarmed or in the
valet mode. So if a mechanic disconnects the battery while the alarm is
disarmed or in the valet mode, he won’t trigger the alarm when he
reconnects the battery. Yet if a thief removes power while the alarm is
armed, and reconnects it, the alarm will instantly sound, the parking
lights will flash and the starter will be disabled.*

How to Interpret the Chirps and Parking Light Flashes 

When you press the remote control buttons, the system will respond with
chirps (unless you have the chirp muting feature turned on or the system is in 
Valet Mode) and flashes of the parking lights to indicate the system status.
An explanation of these chirp/flash acknowledgments is as follows:

Num ber of chirps and flashes

Meaning

1

Disarming of the alarm

2

Arming of the alarm

2 and then 4

Armed and there is a sensor malfunction (automatically bypassed)

3

Disarmed and there was an intrusion attempt

4

Armed and there is a trigger malfunction (automatically bypassed)

* If the optional starter disable was installed.
