þ 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 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.
þ 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.
DISARMING THE SYSTEM
1. As you approach the vehicle, press and release the Unlock button on the key-
chain transmitter.
þ Dash mounted LED turns off.
If passive arming was selected during the installation, then the LED
will start flashing rapidly, indicating that the system is re-arming auto-
matically. Open any door to suspend the automatic arming.
þ Parking Lights flash two times.
If the parking lights flashed three times, then the alarm was trig-
gered in your absence. Before turning the key on, examine the LED to
identify which zone was triggered.
