Remote Control (490-0850) Operation Faxback Doc. # 8911 Alarm System ARMING THE SYSTEM Arming the system sets the alarm to sound and activates the starter disable module. Before you attempt to arm the system, be sure it is turned on. AUTOMATIC ARMING Be sure your vehicle's ignition has been on for at least 6 seconds. Then, turn off the ignition and step out of the vehicle. The system arms 30 seconds after you close all doors, the hood, and the trunk. During the 30 second delay, the system indicator's red light rapidly flashes. If you open the hood, the trunk, or one of the doors during the 30-second delay, the system enters a stand-by mode. The status indicator's red and green lights flash, and the system does not arm. After you close the hood, trunk, and all the doors, the system restarts the 30-second delay. At the end of the 30-second delay period, the system arms. The status indicator's green light turns off, and the red light stops flashing. If you use this method to arm the system, you have a 12-second entry delay. REMOTE ARMING The transmitter has a range of about 20 feet. To arm the system from outside the vehicle, press ARM on the transmitter. The status indicator's red light turns on and the confirmation tone sounds if BEEP/SILENT is set to BEEP. This indicates the system is armed. If you use this method to arm the system, there is no entry delay. DISARMING THE SYSTEM The method for disarming the system depends on the method you used for arming the system. AFTER AUTOMATIC ARMING If you let the system automatically arm, you can disarm it from outside the vehicle or you can disarm it from inside the vehicle. If you let the system automatically arm, you have a 12-second entry delay period during which the alarm will not sound. The delay period begins begins when you open the trunk, hood, or one of the doors. During the delay, the status indicator's green light is off and the red light flashes. TO DISARM THE SYSTEM FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE: * Press DISARM on the transmitter. * Or, turn the ignition to the accessory (ACC) position. However, you must press DISARM on the transmitter to turn off the starter disable module so that you can start the vehicle. AFTER REMOTE ARMING If you armed the system with the remote transmitter, you must disarm it from outside the vehicle to prevent sounding the alarm. Press DISARM on the transmitter. This disables the alarm and turns off the starter disable module so that you can start the vehicle. The green indicator lights, and the confirmation tone sounds if BEEP/SILENT is set to BEEP. This indicates the system is disarmed. TRIGGERING THE ALARM You can sound the alarm's siren in several ways. * When automatically armed, if you open a door, the hood, or the trunk after the 30-second delay period, the alarm sounds after a 12-second entry delay. * If you open a door, the hood, or the trunk, when the system was remote armed, the alarm sounds instantly. * If you press ARM and DISARM at the same time on the transmitter. * If the motion sensor detects vibrations, the siren sounds after 12 seconds if the system was automatically armed or instantly if the system was remote armed. The alarm sounds for 5 minutes or until you disarm the system. If you do not disarm the system, the system rearms and the red indicator blinks continuously, letting you know the alarm was activated. SOUNDING THE PANIC ALARM This features lets you summon help in case of an emergency. To sound the panic alarm, press ARM and DISARM on the remote transmitter at the same time. The siren sounds immediately, regardless of the position of any of the controls. Note: The panic alarm does not operate when the ignition is on. (SMC/jlc-03/22/94)
