SecureCode:

  “SecureCode” allows the user to customize the number of Valet Switch presses

which are required to successfully perform an Emergency Override.  The basic Emergency Override
procedure is described on page 11
.  Instead of a single “1 press” of the Valet Switch which would
be required in order to perform an Emergency Override, two stages of Valet Switch presses must be
made.  In each of the two stages, the Valet Switch will need to be pressed 1 through 9 times, as
programmed by the user.  This is the Emergency Override procedure if the system has programmed with
a customized SecureCode:

 described on page 11, enter the vehicle (the system will most likely activate or already be activated to
a triggered alarm condition.  Using the ignition key, turn the vehicle’s ignition switch on, and within
5 seconds press and release the Valet Switch.  The system will disarm.

Once the system is disarmed, if Valet Mode is desired, just press and hold the Valet Switch for 2

seconds to place the system into Valet Mode.  Should a mistake be made entering the SecureCode, after

Step 1

With the system in the armed condition, enter the vehicle via the driver's door (be aware that
the system will activate to an alarm condition when the door is opened).

Step 2

Using the ignition key, turn the vehicle’s ignition switch on.

Step 3

Within 5 seconds press and release the Valet Switch the same number of times that have been
programmed for stage #1.

Step 4

After a few seconds, the siren will stop sounding, chirp once, and then resume sounding.

Step 5

Now, within 5 seconds press and release the Valet Switch the same number of times that have
been programmed for stage #2.  Within a few seconds the siren will stop sounding, and the unit
will disarm.
