Operating Your System
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 if you forget to arm the alarm with the remote control, the alarm will
automatically arm itself 30 seconds after the doors have been closed and the
interior lights have turned off. (See the “Programming Table for System
Features” on page 9.)
Active Arming
Press the remote ARM/DISARM button for 1-2 seconds. 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.
*If your system was installed with the door lock/unlock feature,
All other door lock/unlock related features will apply.
Passive Arming
Turn the ignition key “OFF,” exit the vehicle and close the doors. When the
interior lights turn off, the LED will begin flashing rapidly to indicate the alarm
is passive arming. After 30 seconds, the siren will chirp twice, the parking
lights will flash twice, the LED will flash slowly and the starter will be disabled
(at any time during passive arming, the alarm can be actively armed).
To Disarm the System
Press the remote ARM/DISARM button 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, the LED will turn off and the starter will be enabled.
Remote-Controlled Silent Arm/Disarm
Press the remote SILENT button for 1-2 seconds to arm or disarm your system
without the usual siren chirps.
