Features and Benefits of the Code Alarm CA-630

Two Easy-to-Use Weather-Resistant Remote Controls The remote controls included with the Code Alarm CA-630 utilize durable, moisture resistant cases and sealed rubber buttons for reliability and long life. Rolling code technology prevents the transmitter signals from being duplicated. The button functions are clearly labeled to make the CA-630 simple to operate. All Entrances Protected Opening any door or entrance protected by the security system triggers the vehicle’s horn and flashes the vehicle parking lights. Starter Disable The Code Alarm CA-630 protects your vehicle from theft by disabling the starter when the system is armed. IT-sTM Interior Theft Sensor This patented sensor uses infra-red technology to reliably detect vehicle impact associated with attempted intrusion. The IT-sTM sensor guards against vehicle body damage, and theft of the vehicle’s equipment (such as airbags) and personal belongings. Remote Keyless Entry The Code Alarm CA-630 conveniently locks and unlocks vehicle doors and opens the trunk or hatch by remote control.* Personal Protection Features Remote Panic Alarm, Illuminated Entry, and Car Finder are among an array of features that enhance personal safety.** Interior Status Indicator The bright-blue warning light is an effective visual deterrent to a would-be thief. Remote Start The Code Alarm CA-630 allows you to warm up your vehicle and preheat or pre-cool the interior with the press of a button on the remote control. PowerRangeTM Antenna This long-range antenna allows you to operate the Code Alarm CA- 630 from distances of up to 1/8 mile.

Arming the Security System

To arm the system, exit the vehicle, close all doors, then press* the LOCK button. The horn will “chirp” twice† and the parking lights will flash twice, indicating the system is armed. The doors will also lock at this time (if equipped and connected). The status indicator (blue warning light on the dash) will blink steadily, once per second. Pre-arm Mode If the horn chirps and the parking lights flash only once, this indicates that the vehicle courtesy light is on, or that an entrance is not closed securely. Check to see that doors, hood, and trunk are properly closed. Once all entrances are secured (and the courtesy light is off), the system will chirp / flash again. The system is now fully armed. (If the entrance is not secured within 4 minutes, the system will arm and ignore the unsecured entrance until it is closed.) Disarming the Security System To disarm the system, press the UNLOCK button. The horn will chirp and the parking lights will flash once, and the doors will unlock. The courtesy light will turn on for 1 minute, or until the vehicle is started. Attempted Intrusion Identification If the horn chirps four times when disarming, this indicates that the system was triggered in your absence. The status indicator will also flash rapidly. Perform the following operation to determine the protected zone that triggered the system: After disarming, press the emergency override button. The horn will chirp to indicate the cause of the alarm trigger: 1 chirp IT-sTM Interior Theft Sensor 2 chirps Door 3 chirps Hood 4 chirps Trunk/Optional Sensors 5 chirps Ignition was turned on Using Your Remote Transmitter * Throughout this manual, ‘press’ refers to pressing for less than 1 second; ‘press and hold’ refers to pressing for more than 1 second. † If you have chosen the Silent Arming Option, the horn will not sound when arming or disarming until the appropriate button is pressed a second time.

Using Valet Mode

If the Passive Arming feature is enabled on your system, Valet mode temporarily prevents the alarm system from arming automatically. This is useful when fueling or servicing your vehicle. To enter Valet Mode: With the vehicle ignition on, press the LOCK button. The blue dashboard warning light (status indicator) will turn on for one second, then turn off. This indicates that the system is in Valet mode. Once the ignition is turned off, the status indicator will emit a quick double-flash pattern. Note: In Valet mode, all keyless entry, convenience and remote start features operate normally. To exit Valet Mode: With the vehicle ignition on, press the UNLOCK button. The blue dashboard warning light (status indicator) will turn on for one second, then turn off. This indicates that the system has exited Valet mode. Hint: To prevent your security system from automatically arming while unloading or refueling your vehicle, without placing the system in Valet mode, simply press the disarm button on your remote control transmitter after turning the ignition key off. Doing so places your system into a temporary or one time Valet mode. Next time you exit your vehicle the system will arm in the normal manner. Using Your Remote Starter Starting Your Vehicle The remote start function is activated by pressing and holding the START button for 2 seconds on the remote control. The system will check the vehicle to ensure that it is safe to start, and if all safety parameters are correct, the engine will start within 5 seconds (diesel engines will take longer.) Press and hold START again to turn off the vehicle. If your vehicle stalls or does not start... If the vehicle stalls or does not start, the CA-630 will pause 5 seconds, then try 3 more times to start the vehicle (a total of four attempts). The system pauses 5 seconds between each start attempt. If the vehicle does not start after the fourth attempt, the CA-630 will abort the start process. Your vehicle can be started by remote control whether the alarm is armed or disarmed. When the alarm is armed, the impact sensor turns off when the vehicle is started to prevent the engine vibration from Using Your Remote Transmitter (cont.) CA630owners.p65 10/17/03, 4:30 PM 6
