Alarm
The radio signal emitted from the transmitter, which is used to set/unset the alarm, is a "rolling code"
signal. This means that the signal is changed randomly for each transmission and is intended to help
prevent unauthorized recording of the code.
When armed (set), the alarm continuously monitors a number of points on the car. The following
conditions will set off the alarm:
· The hood is opened
· The trunk/tailgate is opened
· A door is opened
· The ignition switch is tampered with
The alarm will sound for 30 second intervals, with a 10 second pause between intervals. This function
cannot be interrupted.
· If the battery or the siren are disconnected, the alarm will sound for five minutes
Arming (setting) the alarm
Press the LOCK button on the remote control, lock the car using the key in the driver's door . One long
flash of the turn signals will confirm that the alarm is set.
Disarming the alarm
Press the UNLOCK button on the remote control or unlock the driver's door with the key.
Turning off (stopping) the alarm
If the alarm is sounding, it can be stopped by pressing the UNLOCK button on the remote control or by
unlocking the driver's door with the key.
Visual alarm signal
The visual alarm signal is given by flashing all turn signals and turning on the interior lighting for
approximately 5 minutes.
Audible alarm signal
An audible alarm signal is given by the backup siren. One alarm cycle lasts for 30 seconds.
