Your system is equipped with three separately programmable Vehicle
Recovery protection features, which also provide Anti-Carjacking protection.
The Vehicle Recovery operation may be selectively activated by the ignition,
by an open door, or by the transmitter.
How It Works
:
Once the Vehicle Recovery process has begun, the user has 53 seconds
to cancel the process by entering the system’s programmed SecureCode using
the Valet Switch. If Vehicle Recovery is not cancelled, 53 seconds after
being activated the siren will begin to chirp for 7 seconds to alert the user that
the system is about to enter into an alarm condition.
If the Vehicle Recovery process is not cancelled before the 60 second
countdown expires, the system will enter an alarm condition, sounding the
siren and flashing the parking lights. 30 seconds after this occurs, or should
the ignition be turned off in the meantime, the stater interrupt will engage.
Once the system enters the alarm condition, it will not respond to the
transmitter, nor will the system reset automatically after 60 seconds.
Once in the alarm condition, the Vehicle Recovery Protection can only be
disengaged by:
Step 1: Turning the vehicle’s ignition off.
Step 2: Turning the ignition back on.
Step 3: Within 5 seconds, perform an Emergency Override using the
Valet Switch. If the SecureCode has been customized, the correct
number of Valet Switch presses must be made.
Level #1: Vehicle Recovery activated by the vehicle’s ignition:
The Vehicle Recovery process is started every time the vehicle’s ignition is
turned on. This is programmable feature #12.
Level #2: Vehicle Recovery activated an open door:
The Vehicle Recovery process is started by a door of the vehicle being
opened, but only if the ignition is on when the door is opened. This is
programmable feature #13.
Level #3: Vehicle Recovery activated using a remote control:
The Vehicle Recovery process is started by pressing holding the transmitter’s
Small Lower Button for 3 seconds, but only if the vehicle’s ignition is on.
This is programmable feature #14.

ERIFICATION
The patented ATV
TM
technology, which is standard on all Crime Guard
models, is the only defense against an inherent weakness found in any
remote-controlled vehicle security system. In all such systems, allowance
is made for multiple transmitters to operate the system. In a matter of
seconds, anyone familiar with the programming procedure can easily code
their own unauthorized transmitter into the system. Although every vehicle
remote-controlled keyless entry or security system is susceptible, Crime
Guard security systems audibly alerts you if the system’s programming
mode has been accessed and visually informs you at all times of the number
of remote controls capable of operating your system. Someday this technology
will be standard on all remote-controlled keyless entry and security systems;
today, only the most advanced systems offer this complete protection.
How It Works
:
Audible ATV
TM
Warning:
Anytime the system has a transmitter programmed,
for 48 hours thereafter the siren will emit a brief series of chirps every time
the vehicle’s ignition is turned on. This audible warning alerts you that the
system has had transmitter programming activity. Please note that the
audible ATV
TM
Warning, in addition to the extended Status Indicator Light
visual display, will be active for the first 48 after the system is installed.
Visual ATV
TM
: In normal everyday use, for a period of 10 seconds after the
vehicle’s ignition is turned on, the system’s Status Indicator Light reports the
total number transmitters which can operate the system. However, if the
ATV
TM
Warning has been activated, this visual display period is extended to
90 seconds. For example: After turning on the vehicle’s ignition, if the Status
Indicator Light flashes twice between pauses, two transmitters are
programmed to operate the system. If the indication were three flashes
between pauses, three transmitters are capable of operating the system.
In the event that the ATV
TM
Warning is activated, or if the Status Indicator
Light a shows different number of authorized transmitters, you can easily
reprogram your transmitters to eliminate the threat. (please refer to page 22)
Personal security advisement:
Only recently have law enforcement
authorities discovered the prevalence of this type of theft, as it is virtually
undetectable. In most of these cases, the theft of personal items from the
vehicle has been dismissed as the owner’s failure to lock the vehicle’s doors!
