Setting the Current Sensor

If your vehicle has electronic acces- sories that turn on and off automati- cally while you are away from the vehicle, the alarm might sound false alerts. (The system can detect an electric engine fan, and does not sound a false alert when the fan comes on.)

To disable the current sensor so ac- cessories will not trigger an alert, dis- arm the system. Then hold down PANIC for about 4 seconds. The sys- tem beeps twice.

To re-enable the current sensor, with the system disarmed, hold down PAN- IC for about 4 seconds. The system beeps once.

Notes:

•The current sensor does not operate for 40 seconds after the system arms.

•You can also try unplugging or disconnecting electronic acces- sories such as radar detectors or cellular phones when you leave your vehicle, instead of disabling the current sensor, to prevent the false alerts.

Setting the Valet Mode (Passive Arming/Disarming)

The valet mode lets you leave your vehicle for service or with a valet and not have it arm 60 seconds after you turn off the engine. The default is for the valet mode to be on (passive arm- ing is off).

To have your system automatically arm 60 seconds after you turn off the engine (this is called passive arming), hold down DISARM for about 10 sec- onds. The system beeps twice.

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