ARMING THE SYSTEM - PASSIVE ( AUTOMATIC )
1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, and close and lock all doors, hood lid and
trunk lid.
þ Red dash mounted LED begins to flash rapidly, indicating 30 sec-
ond passive arming has begun.
2. Opening any protected entry point during the 30 second passive arming cycle
will immediately suspend automatic arming and the 30 second passive
arming cycle will restart when all doors are closed. At the end of the passive
arming cycle;
þ Red dash mounted LED begins to flash slowly.
þ Parking Lights flash one time.
þ Siren sounds one chirp
If the siren did not sound when arming, then the chirps have
been turned off, and you should refer to the section titled
"ELIMINATING THE ARM / DISARM CHIRPS" in this manual.
o Doors Lock - Optional
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 keychain transmitter and they will not
automatically lock during passive arming.
PROTECTION WHILE THE SYSTEM IS ARMED
þ 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.
þ 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.
þ 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.
o Optional - Whenever the system is armed, the vehicle’s starting circuit
will be bypassed. If the thief should choose to ignore the siren, the
vehicle can not be started.
þ Any mild impact to the vehicle’s glass will cause the alarm to sound a
short series of warning tones.
þ Any strong impact to the vehicle’s glass will cause the alarm to trigger
for the full 30 second alarm cycle.
