Safety Disarm/Storm Mode:
While the system is activated, i.e. sounding the
siren and flashing the lights, pressing the “disarm/unlock” button will disarm the
system, but not unlock the doors. This safety feature ensures that the vehicle remain
secure should the system require disarming due to being activated from nuisance or
malicious false sensory inputs, such as typically produced by severe weather
conditions. To remotely unlock the doors if the system is disarmed while activated,
simply repeat the disarm operation by pressing and releasing the “disarm/unlock”
button again. If disarmed from a panic mode, the normal disarm indications are
present, including the unlocking of the doors.
Automatic Rearming Feature:
Automatic Rearming is a programmable feature
which ensures that your system is never inadvertently disarmed. It is possible to
accidentally or unknowingly operate the controller or transmitter from a pocket or
purse. You may not even be aware of an accidental disarming due to the enhanced
operating distance offered by the Excalibur’s extended range, or if the controller
confirmation is not noticed. Automatic Rearming has the alarm rearm itself 90
seconds after it has been disarmed, unless a vehicle door is opened or the ignition
key turned on. Automatic Rearming is confirmed by a fast flashing Status Light after
the disarming, unless the system was triggered, in which case a Zone Violation code
will flash instead.
During the 90 second period, Automatic Rearming can be paused by opening
the door or stopped completely by turning the ignition key "on". Also, Automatic
Rearming can be cancelled by the Safety Disarm/Storm Mode feature; if the system
is disarmed while triggered, Automatic Rearming will not occur.
If the Excalibur was activated and reset itself:
The disarming confirmation
will no longer be 2 siren chirps, and the parking lights flashing twice before staying
on with the interior lights. Instead, the system will respond with 4 siren chirps and
the parking and interior lights flashing 4 times before staying on for 30 seconds. The
Status Light will have changed to flashing two to four times between pauses as a
“Zone Violation” code to indicate which protection circuit triggered the system (2
flashes, hood/trunk; 3 flashes, doors; 4 flashes , impact sensor). These special
audible and visual disarming indications, and Zone Violation code, will remain this
way until the ignition key is turned “on”.
Disarming the System by Emergency Override
Should the transmitter become lost, damaged, or its batteries become exhausted,
the Valet Switch and the vehicle’s ignition key may be used to disarm the system:
Step 1
With the system in the armed condition, enter the vehicle via the driver's
door (be aware that the alarm will trigger when the door is opened).
and briefly showing the number of operating controllers or transmitters.
Step 7
Allow 10 seconds to pass without performing any programming
actions, or turn the vehicle’s ignition on.
Exit Programming mode:
• The siren will sound briefly and the Status Light will go out.
Programmable Features Descriptions
To custom program a new SecureCode:
Step 3
After entering the first stage by pressing the “arm/lock” button the
desired number of times, and receiving a chirp for each press, wait for the
Step 2
Within 10 seconds slowly press and release the controller or transmitter’s
“arm/lock” button the number of times equal to the desired SecureCode
for stage 1, allow the system to respond to each controller/transmitter
button press with a siren chirp before pressing the button again.
Step 1
Follow Steps 1 to 4 in the previous “How to Program Features” instruc-
tions; at Step 4 the Valet Switch will be pressed and released once (the
siren chirps once) to access “feature #1”.
Feature #1 SecureCode
Factory Default Setting
1 Press
Options:
1 to 9 presses, in each of two stages
Step 4
Continue to configure stage 2 of the SecureCode by now pressing and
releasing the “disarm/unlock” button the number of times desired for the
stage 2. This should be done in the exact same fashion as the stage 1 entry-
press the “disarm/unlock” button, wait for a single chirp before pressing
the button again, and then when final button press is done, wait after the
single chirp for the siren to chirp the total number you entered via the
Valet Switch.
system, after the final button press, to chirp the siren again the total
number of times that the button was pressed.
SecureCode is a unique patented feature which allows you to custom select the
number of Valet Switch presses in two stages, instead of a single “1 press”, which
would be required in order to perform an Emergency Override. If any of the three
anti-carjacking features are utilized, a customized SecureCode would also be
required to turn it off once it is fully activated. The SecureCode operation is
described on page 15.
