SECURITY SYSTEM (OPTIONAL)
The current section only applies to an AstroStart security system (added as an option) which must not be confused with the
vehicle’s OEM system.
PROTECTION ZONES
Your security system can use up to six different monitoring devices simultaneously to protect your vehicle.
These devices are connected to the system on different inputs called protection zones.
One of these zones can send an audible warning (7 chirps), while the other five generate an alarm condition if system is
armed.
PROTECTION ZONES FUNCTIONS
Pre-shock (Warning) Siren chirps (7 times)
Pre-shock (more than 3 times in 3
min.)
Doors
Hood
Additional sensor (Trunk)
Shock sensor
Ignition (key)
Siren on for 30 or 60 second period, which can be repeated up to 4 times
depending on initial programming and whether violated zone is corrected or
not.
Each period is separated by a 5 second pause. (45 seconds for "Door"
zone).
DETERRENTS
ACTIVE
When one of the monitoring devices detects a violation, system reacts by activating the following deterrents, depending on
which is connected.
System can activate up to four deterrents simultaneously: siren, parking lights, dome light and/or horn.
PREVENTIVE
Depending on system’s configuration, the indicator light shows different alarm conditions (see "Zone Codes" on
page 12).
It can also act as a deterrent if installed in a place visible from outside vehicle.
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.
PRE-ALARM
If you set off the alarm by accident and do not want to alarm or disturb the whole neighbourhood, "pre-alarm" mode cuts in
three seconds before the alarm condition to give you time to disarm the system.
In this mode, parking lights, siren and dome light go on and off intermittently for three seconds.
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, and 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.
