PROGRAMMING THE 850i4e
The Crime Guard 850i4e is a sophisticated, yet flexible security and convenience system. Many of its operations may be configured as the user desires. “Programming Mode” allows you to configure 31 operational features to suit your wants and needs. Your vehicle’s ignition key and the Valet Switch are used to enter the Programming Mode, as described by the three steps listed below. Once in Programming Mode, the Valet Switch is used to access the desired feature, and the transmitter or transceiver is then used to change the chosen feature’s status. During the process, the siren and the Status Light indicate certain conditions of Programming Mode and the chosen feature’s status.
Once the system is in Programming Mode, the Valet Switch is then pressed and released the number of times equal to the feature number which is to be accessed for programming. After pressing the Valet Switch as many times as the feature number, the siren will chirp the same number of times and the Status Light will flash the same number, between pauses.
Once the feature has been selected its status, or setting, can be chosen by pressing the appropriate button on the transmitter. Basically, pressing the transmitter’s “Arm/Lock” button turns the feature on, or pressing the transmitter’s “Disarm/Unlock” button turns the feature off. Features which are not “on or off” features, such as the activated alarm duration of 30 or 60 seconds, are noted otherwise.
To Enter Programing Mode:
Step 1 Turn the vehicles’s ignition on.
Step 2 Turn the ignition off.
Step 3 Within 5 seconds, Press & Release the Valet Switch 5 times. •The siren will chirp then sound briefly and the Status Light will
flash to confirm that the system is entering Programing Mode. •Once in Programming Mode, if 10 seconds of no programming
activity occurs, the system will exit Programming Mode. Program- ming activity is the pressing of the Valet Switch or pressing a trans- mitter button once a feature is accessed.
To Access a Feature:
Step 4 Within 10 seconds, Press & Release the Valet Switch the same num- ber of times as the desired feature’s number.
•The siren will chirp and the Status Light will flash as many times as the Valet Switch was pressed to indicate the feature number which is now accessed.
Step 2 Press and release the transmitter’s “Arm/Lock” and “Disarm/Unlock” buttons together. The Status Light will begin flashing Green, and the 850i4e is now keeping the vehicle’s engine running. Do not press the brake pedal from this point, and the parking brake must remain on.
Step 3 Within 2 minutes, turn off the ignition key, exit the vehicle and then press the transmitter’s “Arm/Lock” button to lock the vehicle. The 850i4e will also arm, and the previously running engine will stop. The Status Light also changes to show the “armed” indication, flashing slowly Red, but every fourth flash will be Green, indicating that the system is “armed, and ready for remote starting”.
During the setup procedure, the parking brake must remain set, and the regular brake pedal must not be pressed when and after the transmitter’s “Arm/ Lock” and “Disarm/Unlock” buttons are pressed. After exiting the vehicle, the transmitter’s “Arm/Lock” button only must be used to secure the vehicle. Using any other transmitter button will produce the appropriate system response, but the remote starting setup will be voided.
Once the system is fully setup for remote starting, it will start the engine if the next transmitter operation is pressing the “Arm/Lock” and “Disarm/Unlock” buttons together. If any other transmitter button is the remote starting setup will be voided. If the armed alarm should be triggered during this period, the remote starting setup condition will be voided.
Pit-Stop Feature: This feature allows you to turn off the ignition switch, remove your keys, leave the vehicle and lock your doors while leaving the en- gine running. To use this feature, have the engine running normally from the ignition switch, have the gear selector in “park”, and your foot off of the brake pedal. Press the Valet Switch twice; the parking lights will flash once and the siren chirps 5 times; then turn the ignition off. The engine will remain running for the programmed run time, or it will turn off if another transmitter/transceiver signal is received, a safety circuit is violated, or if the Valet Switch is pressed.
Turbo Timer Feature: This feature is similar to the Pit-Stop operation, but it must be programmed to operate (feature #31), and it will automatically operate every time that the ignition key turns off. It is typically recommended that users of vehicles equipped with turbocharged engines allow the engine to idle a few minutes before turning it off. When this feature is programmed on, the 850i4e will automatically keep the engine running for two minutes as fol- lows:
•With the engine running, hold the brake pedal and engage the parking brake. When the brake pedal is released, the 850i4e will keep the engine running for 2 minutes, and then automatically turn it off. The vehicle may be se-
