ARMING THE SYSTEM: (ACTIVE)
1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, and close and lock all doors, hood, and trunk.
2. Press and release the ARMING button on the keychain transmitter. The siren will "chirp"
once, the vehicle's parking lights will flash once, the doors will lock (optional), and the dash
mounted LED will begin to slowly flash.
WARNING! Excessive pressure on the transmitter buttons will damage the internal
components on the circuit board. All that is required is a light push to the button.
NOTE: If the siren "chirped" three times when ARMING, then one of the entry points (hood, trunk,
doors) has been left opened. Closing the hood, trunk, or doors will correct the problem
and you do not need to disarm the system to make the correction. If the siren "chirped" three
times, sometime after arming, the exclusive delayed dome light learn circuit has been
programmed and the system detected a open entry point after the learned delay expired.
Again, closing the hood, trunk, or doors will correct the problem and you do not need to disarm
the system to make the correction.
ARMING THE SYSTEM: (PASSIVE)
1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, close and lock all doors, hood, and trunk.
2. The dash mounted LED will begin to flash rapidly, indicating that the system is
automatically (passive) arming. As an added convenience, the automatic passive arming
will not begin until all doors and trunk lid are closed, allowing passengers to exit the vehicle
at their convenience.
3. In 30 seconds, you will hear a single short "chirp" from the siren, and the vehicle's parking
lamps will flash one time, indicating the system is ARMED. At this time, the dash mounted
LED will begin to flash slowly, providing a visual indication that the system is fully ARMED.
OPTION NOTE: If the optional (not included) power door lock interface has been
installed, the alarm control module can be programmed to...
a) Automatically lock the doors during step 3 above, or
b) Lock the doors only when the transmitter is operated
4. If you wish to arm the system immediately, simply press and release the ARMING button
on the keychain transmitter. The siren will "chirp" once, the vehicle's parking lamps will
flash once, the doors will lock (optional), and the dash mounted LED will begin to
slowly flash.
PROTECTION WHILE THE SYSTEM IS ARMED:
1. Opening any door, hood or trunk will cause the alarm to immediately sound. The siren
will continue to sound for 30 seconds, then stop and automatically re-arm the vehicle.
If the potential thief left a door opened, the siren will sound for six 30 second cycles, then
re-arm and ignore the opened door.
2. If the OPTIONAL Shock Sensor has been installed, any strong impact to the vehicle’s glass
will cause the alarm to trigger for the full 30 second alarm cycle. If the Optional Dual Stage
Shock Sensor has been installed, in addition to above, any mild impact to the vehicle's glass
will cause the alarm to sound a short series of warning tones.
3. Whenever the system is armed, the 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.
