The Status Light visually confirms the status of the system and provides a high
level of visual deterrence. Two colors are shown- Red for security operations, and
Green for remote starting operations. Combinations of both colors are seen when
the two operations are occurring together. The Status Light, which shares a
housing assembly with the Valet Switch, is normally mounted in a location where
it can be easily seen by the driver, as well as from outside the vehicle.
Security System Status:
The Red colored operations of the Status Light
indicate the status of the security system:
1) Off = The security system is disarmed and not performing automatic functions.
The remote starter system is off, but in standby mode.
2) On Red Constant = The security system is in the Valet Mode, with the remote
starter system off and in standby mode.
3) Flashing Slow Red = The security system is fully armed, with the remote starter
system off and in standby mode.
4) Flashing Fast Red = Last Door Arming or Automatic Rearming is in progress,
with the remote starter system off and in standby mode.
Automatic Transmitter Verification:
For the first 10 seconds after the
vehicle’s ignition is turned on, the Status Light will flash Red a number of times
that equal the number of transmitters and/or Echo transceivers that are capable of
operating the system:
5) 1 Red Flash /pause = 1 transmitter/transceiver is programmed.
6) 2 Red Flashes /pause = 2 transmitters/transceivers are programmed.
7) 3 Red Flashes /pause = 3 transmitters/transceivers are programmed.
8) 4 Red Flashes /pause = 4 transmitters/transceivers are programmed.
Zone Violation:
If the system enters an alarm condition, the Status Light will
stop flashing slow Red and begin to flash in sequence to indicate which protected
zone caused the alarm condition. The Status Light will flash
STATUS INDICATOR LIGHT
• It will play a musical melody.
• Whatever status icons previously displayed will be replaced by the “VALET”
icon.
When the system is removed from Alarm Valet Mode, the Echo will again play
a melody, and the “VALET” icon changes to “DISARMED”. The “VALET” icon
is for Alarm Valet Mode only; Starting Valet Mode is indicated by the Status Light
only.
To enter Alarm Valet Mode:
With the system disarmed, and without pressing the brake pedal, Press & Hold
the Valet Switch for 2 seconds.
• The siren will chirp twice, the parking lights will flash twice and the Status
Indicator Light will illuminate solid Red, then a series of Green flashes, then
return to solid Red. The Green flashes, numbering from 1 to 6 times, is a
remote starting diagnostic code (see page 26).
• To indicate that the system is in Alarm Valet Mode, the Status Light
remains solid Red whenever the system is in Alarm Valet Mode.
• To remind the user that the system is in Alarm Valet Mode, the siren will
chirp once every time the vehicle’s ignition is turned off.

To Exit any of the 3 forms of Valet Mode:
Simply Press & Release the Valet Switch at any time.
• The Status Light will turn off to confirm exit from either Alarm
Valet Mode, Starting Valet Mode, or both.
To Enter both Modes (Full Valet Mode):
With the system disarmed, Press & Hold the Valet Switch for 4-6 seconds with
the brake pedal in both conditions. For example, start pressing the Valet Switch
with the brake pedal unpressed; as soon as two chirps are heard, press the brake
pedal but do not release the Valet Switch. As soon as a second set of chirps is
heard, the Valet Switch may be released. The system is now in Full Valet Mode.
It does not matter in what order the pressed or unpressed brake pedal occurs.
• Once the system is in Full Valet Mode the Status Light will slowly alternate
Green and Red to confirm that the system is in Full Valet Mode. This indication
is present whenever the system is in Full Valet Mode.
• There will be the single chirp reminder every time the ignition turns off. This
is for the Valet Mode part of the Full Valet Mode condition.
To Enter Starting Valet Mode:
With the system disarmed, and depressing the brake pedal, Press & Hold the
Valet Switch for 2 seconds.
• The siren will chirp twice, the parking lights will flash twice and the Status
Indicator Light will illuminate solid Green to confirm that the system is in
Starting Valet Mode.
• There is no audible reminder that the system is in Starting Valet mode.
The Echo Transceiver’s Reaction to Valet Mode:
If the Echo transceiver was last used to operate the system, when the system
is placed into alarm Valet Mode it will send a signal to the Echo. When this occurs:
