However, if the security system was activated while you are away, the disarm
confirmation will be 4 chirps, and the lights will flash 4 times before staying on for 30
seconds. The system will have this disarming response until the ignition switch is
turned "on". Also, anytime the security system has been activated, upon disarming
the LED status light will indicate which of the protected zones caused the activation
by flashing a code of numbered flashes between pauses. Again, this indication
remains until the ignition switch is turned "on".
The system may be disarmed without the normal confirmation chirps by pressing
and releasing the transmitter's OPTION button twice within 2 seconds.

The Armed System
When the system is armed, the LED status light flashes continuously in a slow
and steady manner. In this state, any violation of a protected entry or optional sensor
will instantly activate, or "trigger" the system. If the system is activated:
-
The electronic siren will sound. If the horn is used, it will sound repeatedly sound
for one second, then pause for one second. Every ten seconds, the horn will stop
sounding completely for 5 seconds; this prevents the horn from overheating. This
audible output will occur for the duration of the activated cycle. The siren features
six different tones, and every 5 seconds the siren will change the tone to generate
more attention to the vehicle.
-
The parking lights will flash on and off repeatedly.
-
The doors will relock. If opened, relocking will occur when the door is closed.
The siren or horn will sound and lights will flash for 60 seconds, unless you disarm
the system with the transmitter by pressing the UNLOCK button. If needed, the valet
switch and ignition key may be used to disarm the system (Selectable Coded
Override; pages 12-14). Please note that while the system is activated, pressing the
UNLOCK button will only disarm the system, and not unlock the doors; simply press
UNLOCK again to unlock the doors.
If all protected entries are secure at the end of 60 seconds, the system will stop
itself and rearm automatically to detect another entry attempt. If there is a protected
entry still open, or a sensor still in a violated state at the end of 60 seconds, the system
will reactivate for two more 60 second cycles. If this occurs, the system will still stop
itself after a total of 3 minutes and rearm automatically, and ignore the open entry or
violated sensor circuit while protecting the other circuits. Should the entry be closed
or the sensor return to normal, protection will be reinstated for the affected circuit.
After the security system is activated, the confirmation upon disarming will no
longer be the normal two chirps, and the lights staying on for 30 seconds. Instead,
the system will have 4 chirps and the lights will flash 4 times before staying on for 30
seconds. Additionally, the LED Status Light will change to flashing two to five times
between pauses, indicating which protected zone activated the system. The LED
Status Light will continue flashing this Violation Code until the ignition key is turned
“on”, which resets the protected zone violation memory, erasing the violation codes.

The Valet Switch - Valet Mode and Override
The valet switch, which is typically contained within the same housing as the LED
status light, allows the operator to suspend certain functions of the system's normal
operations. Should the transmitter be unavailable or inoperative, it is also used for
emergency override disarming of an armed and activated system.
These are two separate and distinct operations: the first is Easy Valet
TM
, whereby
a
disarmed system may be placed into an "off" or "standby" condition (Valet Mode)
without use of the ignition key; the second operation is Selectable Code Override,
which will disarm an
armed or activated system and requires the use of the ignition
key. The valet switch is also used in transmitter and features programming operations,
which are described in later sections of this guide.
Easy Valet
TM
: This unique feature can be utilized anytime the security system
is in the disarmed state. Easy Valet
TM
is unique because other security systems
require the ignition switch to be "on" to enter Valet Mode, but with this system, the
ignition can be either "on" or "off", so the ignition key is not required.
Whenever the security system is disarmed, simply press and hold the valet switch
for two seconds to enter the Valet Mode. The system will confirm it has entered Valet
Mode with two chirps and the LED status light will illuminate and stay on constantly.
The system will remain in Valet Mode if the ignition is turned "on" or "off", or even if
the system is disconnected from the vehicle's electrical system. This is useful for
servicing the vehicle; unless in a Valet Mode, the security system will activate
immediately when power and ground are first applied, such as when reconnecting a
battery.
While in the Valet Mode, the remote transmitters can still operate the panic feature,
the power door locks, or the trunk release, if equipped. Valet Mode prevents the
system's alarm from being armed; using the transmitter to lock the doors still engages
the starter interrupt, resulting in the LED status light flashing in a normal manner as
an indication of this. To subsequently start the vehicle with the key, either the
transmitter must be used to unlock the doors, or valet switch must be used to
disengage the starter interrupt. Additionally, the doors will lock when the ignition is
turned "on" and unlock when it is turned "off"', if the system is programmed to do so.
To remove the system from the Valet Mode, simply momentarily press the valet
switch. The system will instantly revert to the disarmed condition. To confirm that the
system has exited the Valet Mode, the LED status light will be extinguished.
Remember, Easy Valet
TM
only operates when the system is in a disarmed state - an
armed state, or if the doors are locked from using the transmitter, requires using the
Selectable Code Override.

Selectable Code Override: In the event the transmitter is lost, damaged, or it
is otherwise inoperable, the valet switch and your ignition key may be used to disarm
the system. Selectable Code Override offers a high level of security because, in
