Operating Instructions  
n Remote Control — Each of the pair of remote controls is a miniature  
radio transmitter with a typical range of up to 100 feet. Obstructions,  
radio interference, cellular transmissions or a weak remote control  
battery may reduce the range or interrupt transmission. (If the system  
does not immediately respond, release and press the button again. This  
works better than holding the button down.) The second remote can be  
used by a second driver, or kept as a spare. (Note: AviGlo remote  
controls are not compatible with the Tornado 2.)  
n To Arm The System — The alarm can be programmed for active or  
passive arming. Active arming means the alarm can only be armed by  
the remote control. Passive arming means the alarm will automatically  
arm itself. See the "Programming Table for Alarm Features" on page 8.  
n Active Arming. Press remote button #1 once. The siren will chirp  
twice, the parking lights will flash twice, the doors will lock, the LED  
will flash slowly and the starter will be disabled.*  
n Passive Arming . Turn the ignition key off, exit the vehicle and close  
the doors. When the interior lights turn off, the LED will flash rapidly  
for 30 seconds to indicate the system is passive arming. The LED will  
then flash slowly to indicate the system is armed and the starter is  
disabled.* (At any time during passive arming, you may actively arm  
the alarm.)  
n To Disarm the System — Press remote button #1 for 1-2 seconds.  
The siren will chirp once, the parking lights will flash once, the doors  
will unlock, the interior lights will turn on (if the optional interior light  
illunination relay was installed), the LED will turn off and the starter will  
be enabled.*  
n To Silently Arm or Disarm the System — Press remote buttons  
#1 and #2 at the same time.  
* If the optional starter disable was installed.

n Silent Arm Indications. The parking lights will flash twice, the  
doors will lock, the starter will be disabled* and the LED will flash  
slowly.  
n Silent Disarm Indications. The parking lights will flash once, the  
doors will unlock, the starter will be enabled* and the LED will turn off.  
n Interior Light Illumination Capability — When the alarm system  
is remotely disarmed, the vehicle's interior light(s) will turn on for 30  
seconds or until the ignition key is turned on (requires an optional relay).  
n To Activate an Accessory — Press remote button #2 for 1-2  
seconds to activate an optional accessory such as trunk release, remote  
engine starter or a remote control garage door opener.  
n Valet Switch — The valet switch is a small hidden toggle switch that  
allows you to program many features of the alarm system and prevent  
passive arming. In the event of a lost or stolen remote control, you can  
also use this switch to bypass (shut off) the alarm system.  
BE SURE TO ASK YOUR DEALER TO SHOW YOU WHERE THE VALET  
SWITCH IS LOCATED  
If passive arming is turned on, you should put your system in Valet Mode  
when your car is being serviced by mechanics, car wash personnel or  
driven by valet attendants. While in Valet Mode, all alarm functions are  
bypassed to prevent undesired or accidental arming.  
n To Turn on Valet Mode  
1. Turn your ignition key to the "ON" position or start the vehicle.  
2. Flick the valet switch to the "ON" position.  
3. The LED will turn on solid red to indicate the alarm is in Valet  
Mode.  
n To Turn off Valet Mode  
1. Turn your ignition key to the "ON" position or start the vehicle.  
2. Flick the valet switch to the "OFF" position,  
3. The LED will turn off to indicate the alarm is no longer in Valet  
Mode.  
* If the optional starter disable was installed.

n User Programmable Passive Door Locking — The system will  
not automatically lock the doors when the alarm passively arms to  
prevent the keys and remote from accidentally being locked in the  
vehicle. If you prefer, you can easily program the alarm to automatically  
lock the doors every time the alarm passively arms. See the  
“Programming Table for Alarm Features” on page 8.  
n To Activate Remote Panic — Press and hold button #1 for 3-4  
seconds. The siren will sound continually and the parking lights will  
flash on and off. If the ignition key is off, the doors will unlock. If the  
ignition key is on, the doors will lock. To deactivate, press button #1  
once (may require additional relays).  
n LED Status Indicator — The LED on your vehicle’s dashboard or  
center console will inform you of the system status.

n Previous Intrusion Alert — If the vehicle had been tampered with  
and the alarm has been triggered, the siren will chirp 3 times upon  
remote disarm instead of the usual 1 chirp.  
n Specific Intrusion Identification — If the alarm had been triggered  
in your absence, the siren will chirp 3 times upon remote disarm  
(Previous Intrusion Alert). When you enter the vehicle and turn on the  
ignition, the LED will flash in cycles to specifically identify which zone  
has triggered the alarm.

n Automatic Malfunction Override — In the event of a faulty sensor  
or alarm input trigger zone, the alarm, when remotely armed, will alert  
you by a series of chirps and light flashes.  
n Instant Remote Control Code Deletion — In the event of a lost  
or stolen remote control, all remote controls can be erased from memory  
to prevent unauthorized alarm operation. See the "Programming Table  
for Remote Controls" on page 9.  
n Remote Control Code Learning — The alarm can be programmed  
to accept as many as four separate remote controls. See the  
"Programming Table for Remote Controls" on page 9.  
n Alarm State Memory — If your car’s battery is disconnected and  
later reconnected, the system will automatically return to its last state  
before power was removed, whether it was armed, disarmed or in the  
valet mode. So if a mechanic disconnects the battery while the alarm is  
disarmed or in the valet mode, he won’t trigger the alarm when he  
reconnects the battery. Yet if a thief removes power while the alarm is  
armed, and reconnects it, the alarm will instantly sound, the parking  
lights will flash and the starter will be disabled.*  
n How to Interpret the Chirps and Parking Light Flashes  
When you press the remote control buttons, the system will respond with  
chirps (unless you have the chirp muting feature turned on or the system is in  
Valet Mode) and flashes of the parking lights to indicate the system status.  
An explanation of these chirp/flash acknowledgments is as follows:  
Number of chirps and flashes  
Meaning  
1
Disarming of the alarm  
2
Arming of the alarm  
2 and then 4  
Armed and there is a sensor malfunction (automatically bypassed)  
Disarmed and there was an intrusion attempt  
3
4
Armed and there is a trigger malfunction (automatically bypassed)  
* If the optional starter disable was installed.
