External Components & Operation

Shock Sensor

The shock sensor plugs into a 4-pin connector on the Prestige module. It should be securely attached to a vehicle surface or sturdy wire harness. Refer to System Diagnostics for testing and adjustment instructions.

LED / Valet Programming Port

The LED / Valet Programming port is used for feature programming and Valet Override. Mount the button in a visible location on the dashboard, drill a 5/16 inch hole, and route wires to the module.

Remote Control Operation

This system includes two (2) 1-Way three (3) button remotes. Basic functions are:

• Lock Button: Press once to Lock; Hold 3 seconds for Panic ON/OFF.
• Unlock Button: Press once to Unlock; Hold 3 seconds for Panic ON/OFF.
• Other Button: Press 2x for No Function; Hold 3 seconds for Trunk Release.

Quick Reference

System Programming

Programming Mode Entry and Exit Procedure

Use vehicle ignition, override button, and a programmed remote to set system options. Feature options are divided into Banks. Ensure at least one remote is programmed. Use diagram steps to access Bank 1 for programming.

Programming Diagram Description: The diagram shows a sequence starting with Ignition ON, pressing the Valet/Override button 3 times (3X), which leads to Bank 1 programming. Cycling the ignition OFF/ON advances banks. Pressing the Override button advances features within a bank. Pressing the LOCK button on the remote changes feature options. Ignition OFF exits programming.

• Step 1: Turn ignition ON.
• Step 2: Press and release valet/override button 3 times.
• Step 3: System beeps once (Bank 1 accessed).
• Step 4: Cycle ignition OFF/ON to advance banks (up to Bank 3), then restarts at Bank 2. To re-access Bank 1, exit and re-enter programming.
• Step 5: System beeps indicate bank number: 1 beep = Bank 1 (Remote Controls), 2 beeps = Bank 2 (Security Control).
• Step 6: Press valet/override button to advance through features. LED flashes indicate feature; beeps indicate programmed option.
• Step 7: Press LOCK button on remote to advance through feature setting options. Beeps indicate option setting.
• Step 8: Press valet/override button to advance features or cycle ignition OFF/ON to advance banks.
• Step 9: Turn ignition key to OFF to exit programming mode. Programming exits automatically after 60 seconds of inactivity.

Dome Light Delay

To program the system to wait until the dome light turns off before arming:

1. Close all doors.
2. With ignition OFF, press LOCK, UNLOCK, LOCK, UNLOCK, LOCK, UNLOCK, LOCK on the remote. The dash LED turns on.
3. Immediately OPEN then CLOSE the door WITHOUT disarming. After the dome light turns off, the LED flashes to indicate completion.
4. Disarm and exit the vehicle.

To return to default dome light sensing:

1. Turn ignition ON then OFF 3 times, then press and hold the valet button for 5 seconds.
2. The system beeps once, indicating the learned delay has been cleared.

System Programming & Diagnostics

Silent Arm and Disarm

Program the system to arm/disarm without notification beeps (siren sounds if triggered while armed). 1. Turn ignition ON then OFF. 2. Press and release valet/programming button three (3) times. System responds with one (1) beep for ON or two (2) beeps for OFF.

User Selectable LED

Controls whether the LED is ON or OFF when the system is Armed/Locked. Selectable in programming or on-the-fly.

1. Turn ignition ON, OFF, ON, OFF.
2. Press and hold valet button for five (5) seconds. System responds with one (1) beep for ON or two (2) beeps for OFF.

Troubleshooting Trigger Zones

Test doors, hood, trunk, and shock sensor to ensure they trigger the security system. Once triggered, the LED flashes to indicate the trigger source:

• 1: Shock
• 2: Trunk/Hood
• 3: Door

Adjusting the Shock Sensor

1. Arm the system, wait 5-10 seconds, then apply impact to vehicle areas to test sensitivity.
2. To adjust, turn the adjustment knob counter-clockwise for less sensitivity; clockwise for more sensitivity.
3. If sensitivity is still inadequate, re-locate the shock sensor.
