SL L4-1.9L SOHC VIN 9 (1991)
When the valet switch is in the ON or SHOCK OFF position, the security system is enabled for active arming. Active arming of the system is
accompanied by a horn chirp and locked doors (up-level system, on vehicles equipped with power door locks).
After the ignition key is turned Off, one or more doors is opened, and the last door is closed, the system may be armed using the remote transmitter. If
the system is armed prior to time-out of the dome lamp (only on vehicles equipped with the delayed dome feature), one chirp will be heard when the
transmitter is accepted (pre-arm feature) and another will be heard when the dome lamp turns off and the system actually arms.
Upon returning to the vehicle, the system may be disarmed only by depressing the transmitter button for one to two seconds. Two chirps will be heard to
indicate that disarming is complete. One additional chirp will be heard if the alarm had been activated since the last ignition key cycle.
NOTICE:
System will not respond to active (transmitter) disarming if it has entered the power down mode.
Shock detection:
When the valet switch is in the ON position and the system is armed, the security system will monitor the vehicle for shock inputs. The security system is
most sensitive to shock in the lateral direction. Shock is defined as a sudden impact such as kicking a tire, breaking a window, etc. The security system is
less sensitive to vertical motion such as "bouncing" the vehicle up and down on the suspension.
Upon detection of one shock input, the security system will activate one "warn away" (one horn honk). Repeated shock inputs (three or more within two
seconds) will result in a full-alarm activation.
Sensitivity to shock may be adjusted using the "turn pot" on the side of the security system module (clockwise - increases sensitivity, counterclockwise -
decreases sensitivity). Shock detection maybe disabled by selecting the SHOCK OFF mode with the valet switch.
Panic mode:
The "Panic mode" may be activated by depressing the transmitter button for three seconds. This will cause a full-alarm cycle. The alarm will stop if the
ignition key is turned to the RUN position or if the transmitter button is depressed for eight seconds.
Panic mode can be activated independent of the valet switch position.
Dome lamp convenience:
Available only on the up-level security system, the security system will command the dome lamp to stay on for 30 seconds after the last door is closed or
until the security system is actively armed. Upon returning to the vehicle, the remote transmitter may be used to turn on the dome lamp before the door is
opened to allow visual inspection of the vehicle interior.
Parking lamp flash:
Available on the up-level security system, the parking lamps will flash:
^
During system programming.
^
When the system is armed.
^
When the system is disarmed.
^
During the warn-away alarm.
^
During the full-alarm cycle.
^
During the 17 second passive arm delay.
^
After a battery voltage power down.
Parking lamp flash provides a visual theft deterrent in addition to the audible horn.
Power down:
To preserve the battery of the vehicle, the system will power down the LED indicator and the receiver. This will cause the LED to stop flashing and the
transmitters to be ignored. The security system will still monitor for shock or electrical inputs that may activate the alarm.
To "wake-up" the security system:
Open any door to activate the alarm. Next, depress the transmitter button or turn the ignition key to the RUN position to stop the alarm.
Power down mode is active when:
^
The vehicle has not been operated for more than 72 hours; or
