Power Save extends battery life by turning Paging Off after one week if the remote control is not used during this period.
Remote Beep Options: On, Off, Triggers Only The Responder LE emits a beep as confirmation of button presses and command responses. When set to Off, beeps are not emitted for any operations except programming. For Triggers Only, beeps will only be emitted for Full Trigger messages.
Alarm Features Normal Arm Protection Status LED: The Control Center 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 Note May require additional parts and installation Sensor triggers: The shock sensor can distinguish minor impacts from major impacts to the vehicle exterior.

Sensor Warn-away When the system sensors detect a Warn-away trigger the siren chirps and parking lights flash for three seconds.
Trigger Zone Fault Report When armed by remote command the system runs a status check of the alarm trigger zones. Faulty zones (usually caused by dome light delay or open trunk) are bypassed and reported via the control center LED and remote, while all other trigger zones remain active and are monitored to protect the vehicle.
“Nuisance Prevention (NPC)” on page 27 * See for more details. Nuisance Prevention (NPC) NPC monitors all alarm zones and, if any are triggered excessively, bypasses them until corrected. If a point of entry (trunk, hood, door) is left open following a forced entry, it is bypassed. It becomes active again only after being closed.
Remote Start Features Key Takeover When you are ready to drive The system keeps the engine running until the vehicle is ready to be driven. To perform Key Takeover: Disarm the system and enter the vehicle, do not step on the foot brake.

Remote Start Faults For user safety, the system must be properly configured or remote start will not activate. The Remote Start Fault output ( LED on and long fault tone) may be caused by any of several configuration issues. If the remote start fails to activate, refer to the following table for the com- mand type and parking light flashes that will identify the configuration issue and solution.
Remote and System Operations Passive Arming* Park and exit the vehicle, after the doors are closed the Passive arm- ing countdown begins. The led flashes quickly and upon reaching 20 seconds the siren then chirps once. At 30 seconds the system arms itself.
Valet Mode Valet mode can be entered and exited by performing the Remote Valet command or manually using the vehicle key and the control button. When entered, the alarm functions are defeated while the conve- nience features still operate normally. Arm and Disarm commands lock and unlock the doors.

Driver door priority unlocking The door unlocking operation can be configured to emulate an OEM style of driver priority unlocking for added security during disarming. Auxiliary Channels The auxiliary channel outputs of this system can activate many of the convenience features found in today’s vehicles. The system installer can clarify if any of the following listed features are compatible with your vehicle.
Battery Information The Responder LE remote is powered by 2 batteries (CR-2016) and the 1-way companion remote by 1 battery (CR-2032) that can be purchased at most retailers. When the battery begins to weaken, the operating range will be reduced. The information and precautions in this section can help maximize your battery’s life and usage in provid- ing your Responder LE and 1-way companion remote controls with many years of trouble free operation.
