Using Valet Mode
If the Passive Arming feature is enabled on your system, Valet mode
temporarily prevents the alarm system from arming automatically.
This is useful when fueling or servicing your vehicle.
To enter Valet Mode:
With the vehicle ignition ON, press the ARM button. The blue
dashboard warning light (status indicator) will turn on for one second,
then turn off. This indicates that the system is in Valet mode. Once the
ignition is turned off, the status indicator will emit a quick double-flash
pattern.
Note:
In Valet mode, all keyless entry, convenience and remote start
features operate normally.
To exit Valet Mode:
With the vehicle ignition ON, press the DISARM button. The red
dashboard warning light (status indicator) will turn ON for one
second, then turn off. This indicates that the system has exited Valet
mode.
Hint:
To prevent your security system from automatically arming while
unloading or refueling your vehicle, without placing the system
inValet mode, simply press the disarm button on your remote control
transmitter after turning the ignition key off. Doing so places your
system into a temporary or one time Valet mode. Next time you exit
your vehicle the system will arm in the normal manner.

Starting Your Vehicle
The remote start function is activated by pressing and holding the

hold START again to turn off the vehicle.

If the vehicle stalls or does not start, the Code Alarm CA-640
TM
will
pause 5 seconds, then try 3 more times to start the vehicle (a total of
four attempts). The system pauses 5 seconds between each start
attempt. If the vehicle does not start after the fourth attempt, the Code
Alarm CA-640
TM
will abort the start process.
Your vehicle can be started by remote control when the alarm is
armed or disarmed. When the alarm is armed, the impact sensor turns
off when the vehicle is started to prevent the engine vibration from
