Stinger
®
Doubleguard
®
Shock Sensor
Never put the Stinger
®
in the engine compartment!
Find a spot close to the control module so that the wires do not need to be extended. Keep it away from the heater
core (or any other heat sources) and any obvious leaks.
How the Stinger is mounted is the most important factor in its performance. We recommend two mounting methods:
Using double-sided tape or hook-and-loop fastener to mount to a trim panel or an air duct, or wire-tying to a wire
harness. If mounting the sensor where it cannot be easily reached for adjustment, hook-and-loop fastening tape
(such as Velcro) is recommended for ease of removal for future adjustments.
NOTE: In many vehicles, tying the sensor to a steering column or screwing it to metal will result in poor
sensitivity, especially on the rear of the vehicle.
Valet
®
Program Switch
Ensure that the location you pick for the switch has sufficient clearance to the rear. The switch should be well hidden.
It should be placed so passengers or stored items (such as in a glove box or center console) cannot accidentally hit
it. The switch fits in a 9/32" hole.
This system has Remote Valet
®
. The user can enter and exit Valet
®
Mode without having to reach the Valet
®
/program
switch. DEI
®
introduced this feature so that switch location was less critical in day-to-day use. As long as the
Valet
®
/program switch can be reached to disarm without a transmitter, easy access is not important.
IMPORTANT! When the vehicle is delivered, please show the user where the switches are located and how
to disarm the system with it.
Status LED
Things to remember when positioning the Status LED:
•
It should be visible from both sides and the rear of the vehicle, if possible.
•
It needs at least 1/2" clearance to the rear.
•
It is easiest to use a small removable panel, such as a switch blank or a dash
bezel. Remove it before drilling your 9/32" hole.
•
Use quick-disconnects near the LED wires if the panel is removable. This lets
mechanics or other installers remove the panel without cutting the wires.
