ELIMINATING THE NORMAL ARM / DISARM CHIRPS

As explained earlier in the manual, you can eliminate the chirps selectively any time you arm or disarm the system simply by holding the ARM or DISARM button for two seconds. If you find the normal arming and disarming chirps annoying, they can be turned off permanently, eliminating the need to hold the ARM / DIS- ARM button for 2 seconds. To do this,

1.Turn the ignition key on then off.

2.Within 10 seconds, press and release valet switch three times.

3.If the chirps were on before you started, then you will hear two chirps indicat- ing they have been turned off.

If the chirps were off before you started, then you will hear one chirp indicating they have been turned on.

NOTE: Whenever the chirps are bypassed, the 4-chirp intrusion indicator and 3 chirp defective zone indicator will always operate. Since these are important warnings to you that something has happened, they cannot be eliminated.

NOTE: Your system must be programmed by the installation center to en- able this feature.

REMOTE PANIC OPERATION

The Lock or Unlock button on your keychain transmitter also functions as a panic switch for use in emergency situations. To use remote panic,

1.Press and hold the Lock or Unlock button on the keychain transmitter for 3 or more seconds. The alarm will immediately sound.

2.To stop the alarm, press and hold the Lock or Unlock button on the transmitter again for 3 seconds. If the button is not pressed, the alarm will automatically stop after 30 seconds. Also if any transmitter button other than the Lock or Unlock button is pressed and released, the Panic mode will be turned off immediately. The normal function of this transmitter button will be suspended during the Panic sounding period.

3.During the panic mode, the Lock and Unlock buttons can be used to lock and unlock the doors, (if the option is installed), however once the unlock/disarm button is pressed, the vehicle's starter inhibit device, (where installed) will be disabled allowing the vehicle to start.

NOTE: While in the Panic mode, pressing and releasing the Lock or Un- lock buttons will, if the option is installed, lock and unlock the doors respectively. While in the panic mode, anytime the Unlock button is pressed, the panic feature will continue for the allotted 30 seconds, however, the security system will be disarmed allowing the vehicle to start.

RF SHOCK SENSOR MODE SELECTION

The way in which your alarm system reacts to threatening vibrations, created by attempts to enter the vehicle by breaking a window, is adjustable by the transmitter immediately after arming. There are 4 modes of operation that can be selected by the operator:

1. Normal Operation (default mode)

In this mode, any strong vibrations will cause the siren to sound (full detect) for 30 seconds. Any lesser vibration will cause the siren to emit about 6 short warn away chirps, (pre-detect).
