VEHICLE RECOVERY
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 or Echo transceiver.
How It Works:
Once the Vehicle Recovery process has begun, the user has 53 seconds to
cancel the process by pressing the Valet Switch once. 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 count-
down expires, the system will enter an alarm condition, sounding the siren and
flashing the parking lights. The stater interrupt will engage 30 seconds after
this occurs, or immediately should the ignition be turned off in the meantime.
Once the system enters the alarm condition, it will not respond to the trans-
mitter/transceiver, nor will the system reset automatically after 60 seconds.
Once in the alarm condition, the Vehicle Recovery Protection can only be dis-
engaged 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.
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 #14.
Level #2: Vehicle Recovery activated by 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 #15.
Level #3: Vehicle Recovery activated using a remote control:
The Vehicle Recovery process is started by pressing holding the transmitter’s or
Echo transceiver’s “
lll
” (or, “Auxiliary Output #3”) button for 3 seconds, but
only if the vehicle’s ignition is on. This is programmable feature #16.

This patented technology, which is standard on all Crime Guard models,
eliminates an inherent weakness found in any remote-controlled vehicle security
and keyless entry 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.
cured before this time by arming the system, which will also lock the doors.
After 2 minutes the engine will stop running. Turbo Timer can be prevented
form engaging, if desired, by turning the engine off first and then engaging the
parking brake, or step back on the brake pedal at any time to turn off the engine.
Automatic Transmitter Verification
TM
:
In normal everyday use, for a
period of 10 seconds after the vehicle’s ignition is turned on, the system’s Status
Light reports the total number of transmitters or Echo transceivers which can
operate the system. For example: After turning on the vehicle’s ignition, if the
Status 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. If the Unauthorized Transmitter
Alert has been activated, this visual display period is extended to 90 seconds.
Every time that the Echo transceiver receives a signal from the system, it also
momentarily shows the number of operating transmitters/transceivers; this
occurs where the clock display normally shows the time.
In the event that the Unauthorized Transmitter Alert is activated, or if the Status
Light ever shows a different number of authorized transmitters, you can easily
reprogram your transmitters to eliminate the threat.
How It Works:
Unauthorized Transmitter Alert
TM
:
Anytime the system has a transmitter
and/or transceiver programmed, for 48 hours thereafter the siren will sound 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.
