[. . . ] 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. 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. 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. Changing the mode requires a minor relay wiring change and installer-only programming. Dual-Level Tamper Warning You may set the sytem to issue a rapid five-chirp warning, instead of the full alarm, whenever the system detects tampering. If there is any further tampering, or if a door, the hood or the trunk is opened at any time, your system will sound the full alarm. See User-selectable features on page 15-16. 11 AutoLock/AutoUnLockTM For your safety and that of your passengers, the vehicle doors will automatically lock the instant you turn on the ignition to start the engine (see User-selectable features on pages 15-16). When you turn the ignition off to shut down the engine, the AutoUnLock feature automatically unlocks the doors. Dual-Sensor Protection Your ACE 500 has two sensors: A Proximity Sensor that can detect anyone leaning into the passenger compartment, and a Piezo Sensor that detects intrusion-related vibrations and impacts. This provides twice the level of protection offered by most other brands of car alarms. Smart AutoTestingTM Each time you remotely arm your ACE 500, it automatically performs an extensive test of all system triggers and sensors. [. . . ] If your vehicle is to be serviced by a mechanic, just put the system in valet mode via the remote control (see Remote controlled valet mode entry and exit on page 11). If the mechanic needs to interrupt power, your system will automatically return to its valet mode state when power is restored; there will be no alarm activation and no need to provide your mechanic with your remote control and instructions on how to use it. 14 User-selectable features Your ACE 500 vehicle security system allows you to set many of its features to your own personal preferences. We have made the programming procedures very simple: to make a change, you just flick the valet switch a few times. The system comes from the factory with all of its features pre-programmed as noted in the table below and on the next page. [. . . ]
