Enhanced AutoArmingTM If this feature is enabled and you forget to remotely arm, the system will automatically arm itself 30 seconds after the vehicle doors are closed. For your convenience, if you re-open any door(s) within the 30-second countdown, AutoArming will restart from the beginning once all doors are closed. ACE 500 has these additional AutoArming features: AutoArming enable/disable: If you prefer, you may deactivate or reactivate the AutoArming feature. See User-selectable features on pages 15-16. Visual acknowledgment: Five seconds after you exit the vehicle and close all the doors, the parking lights will flash twice to confirm that the AutoArming countdown is progressing. Then, 25 seconds later, the system will AutoArm. AutoArm & Lock: To ensure you can't accidentally lock your keys inside the car, the system is factory-set not to lock the doors upon AutoArming. To change this setting, see User-selectable features on pages 15-16. Instant AutoArming bypass: Prevents AutoArming when fueling the vehicle and other times when you wish to temporarily bypass the AutoArming feature. To activate Instant AutoArming Bypass, rapidly turn the ignition switch to "ON" then "OFF" twice. You will hear a single siren chirp to confirm that the system will not AutoArm. Your ACE 500 will revert to its normal operating mode when you next start the engine. 10 Valet mode Whenever the system is put in valet mode, all of the system's security features are switched off. At various times, you will need to turn the system off. For instance, when having your car serviced, washed or parked by a valet. NOTE: If you temporarily lose the use of your remote controls, you can disarm the system by enabling valet mode. Turn the ignition switch to its "ON" position or start the engine. The system's LED will glow for on-going confirmation. To exit valet mode 1. Turn the ignition switch to its "ON" position or start the engine. The system's LED will turn off to confirm that the system is in its normal operating mode. Remote controlled valet mode entry and exit You can even remotely enable or exit valet mode. All you need to do is transmit channel 5 (one press of the side LevelShift button, then button 1). In addition to the previously noted indications, two parking light flashes will confirm that you have remotely enabled valet mode, while a single flash confirms exiting of valet mode. Keyless entry in valet mode Even in valet mode, you can still activate convenience features. Press button 1 as if you were disarming and the doors will unlock (indicated by one parking light flash) and the interior light will turn on. Press button 1 again and the doors lock (two flashes). Selectable starter/ignition interrupt At the time of installation, you can select whether your ACE 500 interrupts the starter line or the ignition line. The starter/ignition interrupt will be set in either Fault-Proof mode, which lets you start the engine even in the unlikely event of a complete system failure, or Super-Security mode that ensures a thief won't be able to start the engine even if he cuts all the wires or finds the system control unit and disconnects it. [. . . ] To change any of the settings, use the following procedure. To restore the feature to its factory setting, just repeat the procedure: 1. Select the feature you wish to program from the table below and on the following page. Turn your vehicle's ignition switch to its "ON" position. [. . . ]
