Setting the Valet Mode

The valet mode lets you leave your vehicle for service or with a valet and not have it passively arm. The default is for the valet mode to be on (pas- sive arming is off).

To have your system passively arm 60 seconds after you turn off the en- gine, hold down DISARM for about 10 seconds. The system beeps twice.

To turn the valet mode on again (so the system does not passively arm), hold down DISARM for about 10 sec- onds. The system beeps three times.

ARMING THE ALARM

To arm the alarm, press ARM. The alarm chirps once.

Notes:

•The system ignores current-sens- ing violations for 40 seconds after you arm it.

•The system ignores shock-sen- sor violations for 8 seconds after you arm it.

•If the valet mode is turned off, the system arms 60 seconds after you turn off your vehicle.

Temporarily Reducing the Shock Sensor’s Sensitivity

If you are parking in a severe weather situation, near a construction zone, or near heavy traffic, you can temporari- ly reduce the system’s shock sensor sensitivity to help prevent false alerts. To reduce the sensitivity to half its normal level, first press ARM to arm the system. The alarm chirps once. Then, within 2 seconds, press ARM again. The alarm chirps once in a lower tone.

To completely turn off the shock sen- sor, press ARM two times within 2 seconds of arming. The alarm chirps in a lower tone each time you press ARM.

Note: When you disarm and re-arm the system, the shock sensor returns to its previous sensitivity setting.

SOUNDING THE PANIC ALARM

To sound a panic alarm, press and release PANIC. The alarm sounds loud tones for 30 seconds. Press any button to stop the panic alarm sooner.
