known as a code grabber, which will receive and store the signal from your keychain transmitter and re-transmit at a later time to disarm your system. Your Keeloq Code Hopping transmitters will change their signal every time the button is pressed, so when a thief grabs then re-transmits your signal, the alarm system will not respond.

If your transmitter button is pressed more than fifty times while it is out of range of the vehicle (children playing with your keys), the transmitter will not operate when you return to the vehicle, and will need to be re-aligned to the receiver. To do this, simply press button 1, (lock), two times within a one second time period. The system will now respond to that transmitter each time a button is pressed.

NOTE: This system is custom configurable and can be set up to operate with a number of options controlled from any transmitter button or button com- bination. For reference, we will describe operation assuming that your system is programmed for separate lock and unlock buttons. Also refer- ence will be made to the icons as shown on the buttons below.

NOTE: The LCD based remote will be explained in detail further in this manual See "System Status" described later in this manual. Consult your instal- lation center if your system has been configured differently.

NOTE: Your system has the option of using a siren, the vehicle horn, or both for the sounding device. Where the siren is referenced below, the horn or both may in fact chirp, or beep.

ARMING THE SYSTEM - ACTIVE

1.Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, and close all doors, hood lid and trunk lid.

2.Press and release Lock/Arm button on the keychain transmitter.

;The dash mounted LED begins to flash slowly.

;Parking Lights flash one time.

;Siren sounds one chirp.

If the siren/horn sounds 3 chirps, then you have left a door, trunk, or hood lid ajar. Simply close the opened entry point to provide full protec- tion. If the siren "chirped" three times, sometime after arming, the exclusive delayed dome light learn circuit has been programmed and the system detected a open entry point after the learned delay expired. Again, closing the hood, trunk, or doors will correct the problem and you do not need to disarm the system to make the correction. If the siren/ horn did not sound when arming, then the chirps have been turned off and you should refer to the section titled "ELIMINATING THE ARM/DIS- ARM CHIRPS" in this manual.

†Doors Lock - Optional

NOTE: If the optional Headlamp illumination feature has been added, and has been selected for operation when arming, as an added convenience, the system will turn on the headlights when the system is armed.

SILENT ARMING - ACTIVE (Must be activated during programming)

1.Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle and close all doors, hood lid and trunk lid.

2.Press and hold the Lock/Arm button on the keychain transmitter for 2 seconds.

;The dash mounted LED begins to flash slowly.
