Code Alarm PROFESSIONAL CA2LCD5

The Code Alarm Professional Series Owner's Guide describes a Deluxe Vehicle Security and Remote Start System, specifically for models CASECRS and CA2LCD5. This system offers a comprehensive suite of features for vehicle security, convenience, and remote operation.

Function Description

The primary function of this device is to provide vehicle security and remote starting capabilities. It allows users to arm and disarm the security system, offering protection against unauthorized access and theft. The remote start feature enables users to start their vehicle from a distance, allowing for preheating or precooling the interior before entry. The system also includes various auxiliary outputs that can be programmed to control additional vehicle functions.
