11) The Starter Disable Will Automatically Engage 90 Seconds After The Ignition Switch
Is Turned "Off": Default OFF.
Transmitter Features
When this Feature is activated, the Starter Disable circuit will automatically engage 90
seconds after the ignition switch is turned "off". Turning "on" the ignition switch during this
90 second period will reset timer period. Once the Starter Disable circuit engages, the
transmitter's use to unlock the doors or putting the system into Valet Mode are required to
disengage it.
Concealed Transmitter Codes: Each system includes two transmitters, and up to two additional
transmitters can be stored in the unit's memory for your convenience. Each transmitter has its own
unique code. Thus, no other transmitter is coded the same as yours. In fact, no one, including the
factory, can program another transmitter exactly like yours because the code is built inside the
transmitter's microprocessor and cannot be seen or copied.
12) The Starter Disable Will Automatically Engage 90 Seconds After The Transmitter
Is Used To Unlock The Doors: Default OFF (press LOCK).
Transmitter Code JumpingTM: Each time you press a transmitter button its signal will advance
to the next digital code in sequence. Each time the keyless entry module receives the correct digitally
encoded signal from your transmitter, the receiver will then advance to the next digital code in
sequence to match the transmitter. Therefore, you can never transmit the same code twice, thereby
preventing a code grabbing device from operating your system.
When this Feature is activated, the Starter Disable circuit will automatically reengage 90
seconds after remotely unlocking the doors. Turning "on" the ignition switch during this
90 second period will override this Feature, preventing the automatic engagement.
13) Ignition Activated Anti-Carjacking: Default OFF.
TransmitterBatterySaverFeature:Manytimestransmitterbatteriesareprematurelyexhausted
because the transmitter buttons are inadvertently pressed by objects while in a pocket or purse. The
transmitter will turn itself "off" after a short period of continuous transmission, and thus prevent
drained transmitter batteries.
This Feature adds automatic Anti-Carjacking protection; Automatic Anti-Carjacking protec-
tion is activated every time the ignition switch is turned "on". In this form of Anti-Carjacking,
the Valet Switch may be pressed within 60 seconds of turning the ignition "on", including the
final 7 seconds when the piezo is beeping to remind you of impending engagement of the
feature. At 60 seconds the piezostarts makinga siren sound. At 90seconds the starter interrupt
output will activate. Once the siren sound occurs, Anti-Carjacking cannot be canceled unless
the ignition is turned "off", then back "on"; the Valet Switch must be pressed once within 10
seconds of turning the ignition back "on". This is the only way to cancel or turn off the Anti-
Carjacking Feature - once activated, the transmitter cannot be used to cancel or turn off the
Feature.
L E D Status Light
The REC-11 includes a Red LED Status Light to inform you of the system's operational
condition. Your system features a Starter Disable circuit, the status of which is also reflected by the
Red LED Status Light. These are the conditions of the LED Status Light:

Programming Features
The Valet Switch
The Valet Switch is used to place the system into Valet Mode, which is used to stop or interrupt
any optional automatic functions, such as Starter Disable, which may be programmed to operate. The
ValetSwitch, inconjunctionwithyourignitionkey, alsoallowsyoutooverridethesystemintheevent
of a lost or damaged transmitter, leaving the vehicle for servicing, washing, or valet parking.
TheREC-11RemoteKeylessEntryandSecuritySystemhasfeaturesthatcanbeaccessedthrough
the Features Programming Mode through using the Valet Switch and the transmitter. The Features
Programming Mode is accessed by turning "off" the ignition switch and properly pressing the Valet
Switch. Once in the Features Programming Mode, the Valet Switch is further used to specify which
of the 17 Features is to be changed, then the transmitter is used to program the selected Feature.
Easy ValetTM Mode: This feature allows you to activate the Valet Mode at any time by pressing
the Valet Switch button for 2 seconds, unless the Starter Disable is engaged (this is indicated by a slow
flashing Red LED Status Light). Please note that once the Starter Disable is engaged, the ignition
switch must be turned "on" to enter the Valet Mode. When utilizing the Easy ValetTM Mode, upon
pressing the Valet Switch, the Red LED Status Light will illuminate a steady, solid Red, and the piezo
buzzer or horn will sound. If the Starter Disable is engaged the piezo or horn will emit 1 long chirp
followed by 2 short chirps. If the Starter Disable is not engaged the piezo or horn will emit only the
2 short chirps. While the system is in the Valet Mode, the Red LED Status Light will remain solid
Red (not flashing) at all times, and every time the ignition switch is turned "off", the piezo or horn will
beep once as a reminder of this condition. To remove the system from Valet Mode simply press the
Valet Switch at any time. The transmitter will operate normally while the system is in Valet Mode,
i.e., the doors will lock and unlock, the II & III Buttons will still operate - but the Starter Disable will
not operate, and any programmed automatic functions are suspended.
To access the Features Programming Mode, follow this procedure:
Step 1 - Within 5 seconds of turning the ignition "off", momentarily press the Valet Switch 5 times.
The module will respond by sounding the built-in piezo buzzer for a short period.
Step 2 - PresstheValetSwitchonceagaintoenterTransmitterProgrammingMode. Thesystemwill

Step 3 - You now have 10 seconds access the desired Feature. This done by pressing the Valet
Switch the number of times that are equal to Feature number listed. For example, to change
the doorlock output pulse from .8 to 3 seconds, press the Programming Switch 6 times.
The module will acknowledge the entry by beeping a number of times equal to the number
of Valet Switch presses.
Overriding The System: As mentioned in the previous section, once the Starter Disable is
engaged,theignitionkeyisrequiredtoallowtheValetSwitchtooverridethesystemandallowstarting

ignition is turned "off", then back "on"; the Valet Switch must be pressed once within 10 seconds of
turning the ignition back "on"*. This is the only way to cancel or turn off the Anti-Carjacking Feature
- once activated, the transmitter cannot be used to cancel or turn off the Feature.
Step 1. Enter the vehicle normally.
Step 2. Using your key, turn "on" the ignition. Be prepared to perform the
following Step before 5 seconds expires.
Step 3. Within 5 seconds, press and release the Valet Switch*. The system
will be immediately overridden.
- Custom Coded Override Mode: For a more secure starter interrupt circuit, the system can be
programmed with a custom-coded number of Valet Switch presses which are required to obtain
an Override of the system. This customizing can even be programmed to require two separate series
of Valet Switch presses. Please ask the dealer or installer for details.
*Important: If a coded valet has been programmed you must enter your secret code to perform this override.
Once the activated system has been overridden, if Valet Mode is desired, holding the Valet Switch
depressed for two seconds will place the system into Valet Mode.
Several other Programmable Features are available for the installer's convenience, allowing
flexibility in the connection of the system to the vehicle's power door locking system.
Starter Disable
*Important: If a coded valet has been entered you must enter your secret code to cancel the Anti-
Carjacking Feature. When the ignition is turned back “on” press the valet switch equal to the first
digit in the secret code, the lights and piezo or horn will pause briefly. During this pause enter the
second digit in the secret code; the system will stop its activity. After this point turn the ignition “off”
and resume normal use of the vehicle.
The REC-11 provides an active Starter Disable output (which engages every time the transmitter
is used to lock the doors), and may be configured, if desired, to also provide an automatic (passive)
Starter Disable. The optional passive Starter Disable may qualify you for an insurance discount, so
please check with your insurance agent.
Active Starter Disable: Whenever the doors are locked via the transmitter, the Starter Disable
will instantly engage. Unlocking the doors with the transmitter will deactivate the Starter Disable
circuit, allowing the engine to be started. Please note that the Starter Disable may be configured to
automatically reengage 90 seconds after the doors are unlocked by the transmitter; or, to engage
automatically 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned "off". These automatic Starter Disable
options are explained in more detail in the "User Programmable Features" section of this Owner's
Manual.

- Audible Confirmation: As previously mentioned, the piezo or vehicles’ horn confirms the
reception of transmitter commands. If desired, the audible confirmation may be deactivated.
Programming Transmitters
Programming Transmitters To Operate Your System: To use an additional or replacement
transmitter, it'suniquedigitalcodemustfirstbeaddedtothecontrolmodule'smemory. Thedealership
where you purchased your system can provide and program transmitters for you, or you may program
the transmitters yourself if you can access the system's control module. If you wish to program a
transmitter, please follow these Transmitter Programming Mode procedures carefully:
- Automatic Starter Interrupt Engagement: If desired, the starter interrupt circuit may be
programmed to automatically engage 90 seconds after the ignition is turned off; and/or 90 seconds
after remotely unlocking unless the ignition switch is turned on within the 90 second period. These
two Programmable Features allow independent automatic operation of the security of the starter
interrupt circuit without having the doors also lock upon engagement.
1) Have all the transmitters that you wish to operate your system at hand. Any time a transmitter
code is programmed into your system, all existing codes are automatically erased. This, in
addition to the Automatic Transmitter VerificationTM feature, prevents someone from adding
an unauthorized transmitter to your system.
- Automatic Or Remote Anti-Carjacking Protection: Two separate forms of Anti-Carjacking
protection may be utilized if desired. Automatic Anti-Carjacking protection is activated every time
the ignition switch is turned "on". In this form of Anti-Carjacking, the Valet Switch may be pressed
within 60 seconds of turning the ignition "on", including the final 7 seconds when the piezo is beeping
to remind you of impending engagement of the feature.
2) Access the system's control module and locate the Valet Switch.
The second form, Remote Anti-Carjacking protection, is initiated by pressing the transmitter's III
button for 3 seconds, but only if the ignition switch is already "on". This operation allows normal use
of the 3rd Channel Output when the ignition switch is "off". This form has the same 60 second period
in which to cancel the full engagement of the feature.
3) Turn the ignition switch "on"; within 5 seconds press the Valet Switch five times. The
buzzer will sound briefly.
4) Press the Valet Switch once again*. The system will respond by briefly sounding the
buzzer followed by two beeps, indicating Transmitter Programming Mode has been entered.
*Important: If a coded valet has been programmed you must enter your secret code at this point, follow
steps 4a & 4b only if you have a secret coded valet .
4a) Press the Valet Switch equal to the first digit in your secret code. The piezo or horn will emit
1 long chirp followed by 1 short chirp.
Once Anti-Carjacking has been activated by either method, the piezo or vehicles’ horn will start
beeping 53 seconds later, and for the next seven seconds pressing the Valet Switch once will cancel
the Anti-Carjacking Feature. Even if a coded valet has been programmed only 1 press of the valet
switch is required to cancel the Anti-Carjacking Feature. At 60 seconds the piezo or horn starts to
sound and the parking and dome lights will start flashing. At 90 seconds the starter interrupt output
will activate. Once the siren sounds and lights flash, Anti-Carjacking cannot be canceled unless the
4b) Press the Valet Switch equal to the second digit in your secret code. The piezo or horn will emit
1 long chirp followed by 2 short chirps.
Page 12
Page 9
5) Within 10 seconds press the LOCK button on the first transmitter you wish to encode to the
system. The piezo will sound then beep twice to indicate the transmitter's code is learned by
the system. It is only necessary to press the LOCK button.
- Activating The Trunk Release Also Unlocks The Doors: This system allows you to make the
choice of whether the convenience of using your transmitter to gain trunk or hatch entry will also
unlock the doors as part of the same operation. As received from the factory this feature is activated.
Even if the vehicle is configured to have the transmitter unlock the driver's first, all of the doors will
unlock when the remote trunk release is utilized.
6) RepeatStep5within10secondsforeachadditionaltransmitter. Aseachtransmitterislearned,
the buzzer will sound, which is then followed by beeps indicating the number of the
transmitters learned. The system will exit the Transmitter Programming Mode when the
ignition switch is turned "off", after 18 seconds of not receiving a transmitter broadcast, or
upon learning the fourth transmitter. The exiting of Transmitter Programming Mode is
indicated by the piezo or horn sounding twice.
- Automatic Door Locking Operation: This system is capable of performing two forms of
automatic door locking if desired, as these features are not activated at the factory.
In the first form, the system will lock the doors automatically 90 seconds after the ignition switch
is turned "off". This feature ensures that the doors will become locked every time you exit the vehicle
and leave it unattended.
Dealer Programmable Options
The second form of automatic locking eliminates the accidental unlocking of the doors by the
accidental or unknown pressing of the transmitter's UNLOCK button when placing it in a pocket or
purse. Activating this feature causes the system to automatically relock the doors 90 seconds after the
UNLOCK button is pressed unless the ignition switch is turned "on".
Your REC-11 has operational features which may be programmed by the installing dealer. Some
of these features enhance the system's operating characteristics, while others are an aid to the installer
which allow extreme flexibility in adapting the system to the different design parameters of the
vehicle. Please see your dealer more detailed information. The following features affect daily
operation:
Both automatic locking and automatic relocking add the security of engaging the starter interrupt
circuit when the locking is performed at expiration of the 90 second period. During the 90 second
period, the LED Status Light will flash rapidly as a visual indication of the impending automatic
action. Once the doors have locked and the starter interrupt has engaged, the LED Status Light will
slow to a steady flash as an indication and also as a theft deterrent.
- Independent Automatic Locking And Unlocking Activated By The Ignition Switch: The
system may be configured to automatically lock the doors when the ignition switch is turned "on", and
alsoautomaticallyunlockthemwhentheignitionswitchisturned"off". Thissystemallowstheunique
capability of only automatically locking, and not unlocking them; or, if installed with driver door
unlock priority, unlocking only the driver's door when the ignition switch is turned "off". The last
Your dealer can activate either or both of these features upon installation.
