Alarm Features
Armed Protection
Status LED: The Status LED flashes as a visual indicator that your vehicle’s security system is active.
Starter Kill: The Failsafe starter kill relay prevents the engine from starting.
The sensor triggers: The onboard shock sensor can distinguish minor impacts from major impacts to the vehicle exterior. Minor impacts cause the system to emit a Warn-away output. Major impacts caused for example by a forcible entry attempt, result in a Full Trigger output.
Point of entry triggers: Opening the hood or trunk causes a Full Trigger output while opening a Door or turning on the Ignition causes the siren to chirp 3 seconds before beginning the Full Trigger output. This 3-second delay allows time to disarm and silence the siren in case of accidental trigger.
Sensor Warn-away output: When the system sensors detect a Warnaway, it triggers the siren chirps and the parking lights flash for 3 seconds.
Full Trigger output: An alarm Full Trigger sounds the siren and flashes the parking lights for 30 seconds.
Emergency Override
The following procedure disarms the system when a programmed remote is not available.
- Turn the ignition On.
- Press and release the Valet button once.
- The siren output ceases and the system is disarmed.
Trigger Zone Fault Report
When armed by remote command the system runs a status check of the alarm trigger zones (see Table of Zones on next page). Open zones (usually caused by dome light delay or open trunk) are bypassed and reported via the status LED, while all other trigger zones remain active and are monitored to protect the vehicle. Should an open zone self-correct (such as the dome light turns off), it becomes active and is then monitored normally.
The siren chirps once again a few seconds following the arming chirps as an audible alert, and the status LED flashes in groups to indicate the zone number.
Alarm Report
If the alarm was triggered while armed, it will be reported when the alarm is disarmed via siren chirps, parking lights, and status LED flashes. The siren chirps 4 times (or 5 times if NPC On, See Nuisance Prevention (NPC) on next page), the parking lights flash 3 times, and the status LED flashes in groups to indicate the last two zones that were triggered (see Table of Zones on next page). The report output will repeat for each disarms operation until the ignition is turned on.
