until any button is pressed. In this case, the icon remains flashing until the
ignition switch is turned on.

operation has been activated, which can be performed by any of three methods.
• On the vehicle’s windshield is a “hammer” and “impact” icon. When the shock
sensor detects light impact, causing the system to prewarn, the “impact” icon
alone will momentarily appear, accompanied by three chirps. If the sensor
detects a harder impact or breaking glass, activating the system, the full
hammer and impact icons appear, and the transceiver chips until any button is
pressed, and the icon remains flashing until the ignition switch is turned on.
• The “DOOR” icon will indicate that the system was activated via the door
detection circuit. The transceiver chirps until any button is pressed, and the
icon remains flashing until the ignition is turned on.

is accompanied by a musical melody, and stays on while remote starting is
operating; during which the puffs will change to appearing sequentially.
• The “2” within a circle indicates use of the Auxiliary #2, which is most
commonly used for a remote trunk release feature.
• The “transmitting tower” icon is an in-range indicator. It is present if the last
transmission from the transceiver was answered by a return signal from the
system. Should the transceiver be operated, and no return signal is received,
this icon will disappear.
• The various lines at the upper rear of the vehicle graphic represent a unique
Omega feature which allows the user to customize the vehicle type represented
by the display. Options are: passenger car, pickup truck, and sport utility/van.
