DESCRIPTION

BURGLAR ALARM SYSTEM
The burglar alarm system is armed automatically after the doors, hood, and trunk are closed and locked. The system is set off when any of these things occur :
1. A door is forced open.
2. A door is unlocked without using the transmitter.
3. The trunk lid is opened without using the key.
4. The hood is opened.
5. The remote panic is operated.

When the system is set off, the alarm horn sounds and the hazard lamp flashes for about 2 minutes or until the system is disarmed by unlocking the transmitter.

For the system to arm, the ignition switch must be off and the key removed. Then, the ETACS module must receive signals that the doors, hood, and trunk lid are closed and locked. When everything is closed and locked, none of the control unit inputs are grounded.

The door switches, hood switch and trunk lid switch are all closed then immediately after locking the doors with the remote transmitter the system arms. If anything is opened or improperly unlocked after the system is armed, the ETACS module gets a ground signal from that switch, and the system is set off. If the trunk is opened using the key after the system is armed, the doors and hood are continues arm state and the system will be not set off. Then after the trunk is closed, the trunk hold arm state.

If one of the switches is misadjusted or there is a short in the system, the system will not arm. As long as the ETACS module continues to get a ground signal, it thinks the vehicle is not closed and locked and will not arm. Conversely, a switch that is slightly misadjusted can cause the alarm to sound for no apparent reason. In this case, it may only take a significant change in outside temperature, the vibration of a passing truck, or someone bumping into the vehicle to make the alarm sound.

PANIC MODE
The panic mode rigs the ETACS to sound the alarm with the remote transmitter in order to attract attention. When the PANIC button is pressed and held for 2 seconds, the alarm will sound and exterior lights will flash for about 30 seconds.

The panic mode can be canceled at any time by pressing any button on the remote transmitter or by turning the ignition switch ON. The panic mode will not function if the ignition switch is ON.
