Keyless Entry And Burglar Alarm
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 :
- A door is forced open.
- A door is unlocked without using the transmitter.
- The trunk lid is opened without using the key.
- The hood is opened.
- The remote panic is operated.
When the system is set off, the alarm horn sounds and the hazard lamp flashes for about two 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.
KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
The burglar alarm system is integrated with the keyless entry system. The keyless entry system allows you to lock and unlock the vehicle with the remote transmitter. When you push the LOCK button, all doors lock. When you push the UNLOCK button all doors unlock.
The room lamp, if its switch is in the center position, will come on when you press the UNLOCK button. If you do not open a door, the light will go off in about 30 seconds, the doors will automatically relock, and the burglar alarm system will rearm. If you relock the doors with the remote transmitter within 30 seconds, the light will go off immediately.
You cannot lock or unlock the doors with the remote transmitter if the key is in the ignition switch.
The trunk will be opened using the key.
The system will signal you when the doors lock and unlock by flashing the hazard lamp once when they lock, and twice when they unlock.
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.
