DISARMING THE

SYSTEM

To disarm the system, press DIS- ARM. The system beeps twice to confirm that it is disarmed.

Notes:

•The status indicator is off when the system is disarmed.

•If the valet mode is turned off, the system chirps and re-arms after 60 seconds if you have not started the vehicle.

•If the system detected a violation while you were away, it beeps three times when you disarm it.

USING THE CAR FINDER

The car finder helps you find your ve- hicle in a dark or crowded parking lot. To use the car finder, with the system armed, press FINDER. The alarm beeps 8 times.

SETTING THE SYSTEM’S OPTIONS

You can adjust the following options:

•Shock Sensor Sensitivity

•Current Sensor (On/Off)

•Valet Mode (On/Off)

Setting the Shock Sensor’s Sensitivity

The shock sensor’s initial setting is fine for most situations. To test the shock sensor, strike your vehicle on the hood directly over the alarm.

If the shock sensor is too sensitive or not sensitive enough, follow these steps to set it to a different level.

1.With the alarm disarmed, hold down FINDER until the alarm sounds four tones.

2.Within 2 seconds, strike your vehicle with as much force as you want the alarm to respond to. The alarm sounds three tones. Any shock equal to or greater than the setting triggers the alert.

Notes:

•If you do not strike your vehicle within 2 seconds, the alarm is set to its highest sensitivity. This could cause frequent false alerts.

•The shock sensor does not oper- ate for 8 seconds after the sys- tem arms.
