Remote Control Talking Alarm System with Starter Disable (490-0741A) Operation Faxback Doc. # 19666 WHAT TRIGGERS THE ALARM The alarm's siren is triggered in these ways: Thirty seconds after the ignition is turned off and a door is opened and closed again, the system is automatically armed. If a door is opened after the 30-second delay period, the alarm sounds after a 12 -second entry delay. If the system was remotely armed and a door is opened, then the alarm sounds instantly. If ARM and DISARM are pressed at the same time on the transmitter, the panic alarm sounds instantly. If the system is armed and the motion sensor detects vibration, the system announces a warning message, "This vehicle is equipped with an alarm, please step back." Then, if the motion sensor detects vibration again within 30 seconds after the warning, the siren sounds after 12 seconds (if the system was automatically armed) or instantly (if the system was remotely armed). The alarm sounds for 90 seconds or until you disarm the system. After the alarm has been triggered and the siren has sounded for 90 seconds, if the motion sensor detects vibration again within 30 seconds, the siren sounds after a 12-second entry delay (if the system was automatically armed) or instantly (if the system was remotely armed); if vibration is detected after 30 seconds, the system announces, "This vehicle is equipped with an alarm, please step back." ARMING THE SYSTEM NOTE: After automatic or remote arming, the starter is disabled until you turn the valet feature on or disarm the system, and turn the ignition switch to ON or ACC. Automatic Arming The system automatically arms 30 seconds after you turn off the ignition and open and close a door. The red indicator flashes rapidly during the exit delay and lights steadily when the system arms. NOTE: If you open the door during the 30-second exit delay, the system restarts the 30-second delay. The LED slowly flashes green and red, and the system announces, "Thank you" when you close the door. Remote Arming To arm the system from outside the vehicle, press ARM on the transmitter. The system announces, "System Armed," the parking lights flash once, and the red indicator lights steadily when the system is armed. The transmitter has a maximum range of about 150 feet (45 meters). The actual range depends on your installation, the location of nearby metal objects, and the strength of the remote transmitter's battery. DISARMING THE SYSTEM How you disarm the system depends on how you armed it. Automatic Disarming If you open a door after automatic arming, the system begins a 12-second entry delay. During this delay, disarm the system by: Turning on the ignition Pressing DISARM on the transmitter with the ignition off. If the alarm has not been triggered, the system announces, "System Disarmed." If the alarm has been triggered, it announces, "System disarmed. Alarm was triggered."
