Codealarm RKE With Security System

(1993 - 1996 models) (Port/Dealer installed - Not included in service manual)

System Operation:

Operates same as CodeAlarm RKE system, except also provides siren, alarm, and "panic" features. The status indicator light is also used as the alarm override button. Can install on vehicles without power door locks to function as just an alarm system.

When the system is armed, unlocking a door with the key will activate the alarm. To disarm the system in this condition, press the "1" button or simultaneously press the status indicator light and turn the ignition key and start the engine.

^ Arming: Press the "1" button to arm the alarm and lock all doors. The parking lights will blink and the siren will chirp. When the system completes arming, the parking lights blink again and the siren chirps again. A status indicator light will begin blinking.

^ Activating: If the alarm is armed, it is activated by either opening a door or by the motion/pressure sensor. The siren sounds and the parking lights flash. After a few minutes, the alarm deactivates and automatically re-arms itself. It the alarm has been activated, the status indicator light will blink faster, indicating that the alarm was previously activated.

^ Disarming: Press the "2" button to disarm the alarm and unlock all doors. The parking lights blink, the siren chirps, and the dome light illuminates for 60 seconds or until the ignition key is turned to "ON."
