Door locking during passive arming is a selectable feature. The alarm can
be programmed to allow the doors to lock only when arming using the

arming.
PROTECTION WHILE THE SYSTEM IS ARMED
Opening any protected door, hood, or trunk lid will cause the alarm to immediately sound.
The alarm will continue to sound for 30 seconds, then stop and continue to monitor all
protected entry points. If the thief left a door opened, the alarm will sound for six 30
second cycles, remain armed and ignore that triggered zone.
Whenever the system is armed, the red dash mounted LED indicator will slowly flash.
This serves as a visual deterrent to the potential thief. The LED is a very low current
bulb, and will not cause the vehicle’s battery to drain, even when left unattended for
extended periods.
Whenever the system is triggered, the vehicle’s parking lights will flash for the full 30
second alarm cycle, attracting visual attention to the vehicle.
