ALARM MODES
WARNING
Warning signal is 7 siren chirps.
If a two-level shock sensor is connected to system, warning sounds every time vehicle is subjected to a light
shock when the alarm is armed. The remote will also show you the violation by the small hammer icon.
PRE-ALARM
If you set off alarm by accident and do not want to alarm or disturb the whole neighborhood, "pre-alarm" mode
cuts in three seconds before alarm condition to give you time to disarm system.
In this mode, parking lights, siren and dome light go on and off intermittently for three seconds. Violation
information will also be shown on your remote by the dedicated icon.
ALARM CONDITION
When system is in alarm condition, it activates the various deterrents connected to the alarm module.
Alarm condition remains active for 30 or 60 seconds depending on initial programming, then system pauses for
five seconds (45 seconds for "Door" zone). During this pause, it checks the protection zones again and restarts
alarm cycle if a zone is still in violation.
This cycle can be repeated up to four times. If situation that caused the violation is corrected in mid-cycle,
alarm stops at end of current cycle. Violation information will also be shown on your remote by the dedicated
icon.
OPERATION
Your alarm system has three different operating modes, active, semi-passive rearming and passive
rearming depending on initial programming. See the relevant paragraph for the mode your system was
configured in during installation.
ACTIVE
In active mode, the alarm must be armed and disarmed using the remote (see Table of Commands on page
4).
Alarm is armed as soon as command is received, even if a zone is in violation when command is received. If
so, the remote will emit a chirp telling you that one zone is active but the alarm is now enable. However, a
violated zone cannot trigger the alarm unless it was in a normal condition beforehand.
This mode is always available even if, during installation, your system was not configured for it.
SEMI-PASSIVE REARMING
In semi-passive mode, alarm must be armed and disarmed using the remote (see Table of Commands on
page 4). In this mode, alarm rearms automatically 25 seconds after disarming (rearming cycle) if doors are all
closed. Indicator light flashes rapidly to indicate that system is in rearming cycle.
Note: If vehicle is equipped with power locks interfaced with the system, a device can be added to prevent
doors from locking during rearming if key is still in ignition. If applicable, this device allows system to be armed
but cancels locking.
