status LED is flashing in groups, see the Diagnostics Section of
this guide. This extra chirp is called Bypass Notification, which
indicates that a security sensor or switch has been bypassed and
the system is not monitoring that area (zone) of the vehicle.
passive arming
The system can be programmed to arm itself automatically (called
passive arming). If the system is programmed for passive arming, it
will automatically arm 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off
and the system detects that you have left the vehicle by opening and
closing a door. Whenever the system is in its 30-second passive
arming countdown, the status LED will flash twice as fast as it does
when the system is armed. At the 20-second point of the count-
down, the siren will chirp to indicate that the system is about to
arm. At the 30-second point, the parking lights will flash to indicate
that the system is armed.
When armed your vehicle is protected as follows:
Light impacts trigger the Warn Away
®
signal. When triggered,
the siren chirps and the parking lights flash for a few seconds.
Heavy impacts trip a Triggered Sequence. The sequence
consists of the siren sounding continuously and the parking
lights flashing for a pre-programmed period, which can range
in duration from 1 to 180 seconds.
note: If any protected entry point (such as a door or a
switch-protected trunk or hood) is open, the system will
not passively arm (unless forced passive arming is pro-
grammed on. See Programming Options section.) Addi-
tionally, each time a sensor is triggered during the arming
countdown, the 30-second countdown starts over.
