[. . . ] The LED will glow continuously to indicate that the alarm is in valet mode. To turn OFF the protected valet mode: 1. Insert your ignition key and turn it to the "ON" position, or start the engine. The LED will turn off to indicate that the alarm is in normal operating mode. Keyless Entry in Valet Mode: Even if valet mode "on", you will still be able to remotely control the convenience features. For instance, simply press button I as if you were arming or disarming and your car's doors will lock or unlock. You can also use button II to activate an option. Optional Automatic Starter Interrupt If equipped with an optional relay, the system automatically prevents engine starting while the system is armed. Only after disarming will the system allow the engine to be started with the ignition key. 2 Tampering Warning Normally, the system immediately sounds its siren at the first inkling of an intrusion attempt. However, you may set the system to issue a rapid five-chirp warning whenever the system detects tampering to the exterior of your vehicle. If there is any further tampering within the next 30 seconds, or if a door, the hood or trunk is opened at any time, your system will sound a continuous 125dB siren blast. To select the mode of your choice, see User-Selectable Features on pages 5-6. NOTE:Turning on the Tampering Warning feature overrides the FACT feature, and vice-versa. FACTTM-- False Alarm Control and Test With FACT, you'll never experience repeated false alarms. If your siren goes off, DO NOT remotely disarm the system; allow it to run for the full 30-second siren duration. The system automatically checks for another activated trigger before sounding the siren a second time. Should the siren sound again, you will know for sure that someone is tampering with your vehicle.
