- Last Door Arming: Many security-conscience persons prefer the security system to automati-
cally arm itself when leaving the vehicle. Many insurance carriers allow discounts for this feature,
which adds to its desirability. Further enhancing the Last Door Arming Feature is the addition of having
the doors also lock upon the system's arming, which will also automatically lock the doors, without
arming the system, 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned "Off" if the user has not previously
exited the vehicle.
- Automatic Rearming: On rare occasions, people have accidentally disarmed their security
system by playing with the transmitter or by unknowingly transmitting from a purse or pocket. To
prevent accidental disarming, the system may be programmed to automatically rearm itself 90 seconds
after disarming and unlocking from the transmitter, unless the ignition switch is turned "On". Once the
ignition switch is turned "on", the system will stay in the disarmed condition until you are ready to
arm the system again from the transmitter or from the Last Door Arming feature. Opening a door will
also stop Automatic Rearming, but the countdown will resume when the door is shut. Additionally, the
system may also be programmed to relock the doors when the system Automatically Rearms.
- Automatic Locking Features: Several forms of automatic locking of the doors may be selected.
The previously mentioned locking additions which may be added to Last Door Arming and Automatic
Rearming may be selected to operate without the system arming.
- Independent Automatic Starter Interrupt Operation: The Starter Interrupt circuit, which is
activated at all times while the system is armed, may also be selected to engage automatically, without
the system being armed.
- 30 Or 60 Second Activated Cycle: The system may be programmed, when activated, to sound

the horn and flash the lights for 30 seconds instead of 60 seconds. Some areas may have laws or
ordinances requiring the shorter activation period.
- 5 Or 30 Second Parking And Interior Light Illumination Upon Disarming: The period of time
that the parking and interior stay illuminated upon disarming the system is also selectable.
- Adjustable Arming Delay: The system full arming may be delayed either 3 or 45 seconds after
the light flash and horn honk indicate that the system is armed.
- 3rd Channel Output: This is an extra operation, similar to the trunk release output, which is
available to operate optional equipment. This output is ideal for remote car starting units, as it leaves
the system armed when operated. Pressing the transmitter's Lock and Unlock buttons in unison
operates this output, and, if desired, the 4 button transmitter's Panic button may also be programmed
to operate the output.
- Warn-Away Feature: The addition of an optional Dual Zone Sensor adds warn-away protection.
Depending on the type of optional sensor, the detection of a light impact or approaching object while
the system is armed will honk the horn 3 times. This feature automatically deactivates
after repeated violations, which avoids the system being considered a nuisance.

transmitters. This is done in all Executive transmitters at the factory and cannot be duplicated.
Code Grabbing - A method whereby a thief, using a device that records and then plays back a copy
of your transmitter's signal, gains entry to your vehicle.
Code Jumping
TM
- The transmitter's ability to change it's code each time it transmits, rendering Code
Grabber units ineffective.
Disarm- A security system which is in a "standby" mode- not armed, but not in valet mode.
Keyless Entry - A popular option that allows you to lock and unlock your vehicle's doors by means
of a transmitter or key pad, without the use of the normal car key.
LED - Commonly used term for Light Emitting Diode, an electrical component that, in addition to
illuminating when electricity flows through it, limits the flow of electricity to one direction only. For
practical purposes, consider it as an indicator light.
Remote Panic - A personal protection feature which, when activated, sounds the vehicle's horn and
flashes its lights via the transmitter.
Starter Disable - A device, when engaged, that will prevent starting the vehicle's engine.
Transmitter - The small remote control attached to your key ring that will emit a Radio Frequency (RF)
signal whenever any of its buttons is pressed. Since the transmitter is limited to a single frequency
assigned by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), it's signal must be encoded so that only
your transmitter will operate your vehicle. See "Code" above.
Triggered- Another common term for an activated security system which has detected an entry attempt
or an input from a sensor. A triggered system will attract attention to the vehicle by flashing exterior
lights and sounding the horn or a siren. A starter disable will prevent the vehicle from being started and
Executive's unique relocking of the doors offers a still higher level of protection.
Valet Mode - A condition in which the starter disable will not engage.
1) Always be aware of your surroundings. An alert and aware person is less likely to become a
crime victim than someone who is preoccupied and easily approached.
2) While driving in high crime areas, always keep your doors locked and your windows up. Your
Executive System can automatically lock your doors when the ignition switch is turned "on".
3) Always attempt to park your vehicle in a well lit and visible location with your doors locked. Use
the interior/exterior light illumination feature to look in and around your vehicle.
4) While in parking garage structures, always attempt to back in to your parking space. This will
provide a less visually encumbered and quicker way to exit your parking space if you are being
pursued. This will also allow you to better see the flashing exterior light confirmation.
5) While driving or stopped at an intersection, if your vehicle is bumped in the rear by another vehicle
or the vehicle behind you is flashing it's headlights, consider the occupants of the vehicle hostile
and immediately drive to the nearest police or fire station. "Bump and run" thieves and carjack-
ers are becoming an increasingly severe problem.
6) While parked and sitting in your vehicle, always keep your doors locked , windows rolled up
and engine idling if possible. If you are approached by a potential carjacker, use your Executive
transmitter to Panic the system to scare the attacker away.
7) Control access of your keys. Never leave your house and other keys with a valet parking attendant
mechanic, or any person requiring access to your car keys.
8) After someone else has had access to your vehicle, always verify that your transmitters still
operate your system, and be aware of the operation of the Automatic Transmitter Verification
TM
feature, which ensures that no additional unauthorized transmitters have been added to your
system for the purpose of stealing your vehicle or its contents.
