Your AA-RS40CS Remote Start Alarm System has many features and available options
some of which are selected at time of installation. For your reference, the list on
page 7 of this manual shows what features and options have been installed. Consult
your installing dealer for options that may have been installed and are not listed.
ARMING THE SYSTEM - ACTIVE:
1. Turn the engine off, exit the vehicle, and close all doors, hood and trunk.
2. Press and release the Arm/Disarm button of your key chain transmitter one time.
The parking lights will flash once, the siren will chirp once, and the dash mounted LED
will begin to flash slowly confirming the system is armed. If you have the optional door
lock/unlock circuit installed, the doors will lock.
Note: If the siren chirped three times, then you have left a door, hood, or trunk ajar.
Simply closing that opening will provide full protection. If your vehicle has delayed
interior lighting, you may also get three chirps when arming. Once the light turns off,
you will hear one chirp confirming full arming. If the siren did not sound when
arming, then the chirps have been turned off. Refer to the section on "Eliminating
the Arm/Disarm Chirps" shown later in this manual.

If any entry point is opened during the 30 second arming cycle, arming will be
suspended. When all entry points are closed, the arming cycle will begin again.
At the end of the 30 seconds, the parking lights will flash once, the siren will chirp once,
and the dash mounted LED will begin to flash slowly confirming the system is armed. If
the siren did not sound when arming, then the chirps have been turned off. Refer to the
