Arming the System
Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter Locking
Passive arming is also available, if you would like the
system to arm all by itself after the doors have been
closed for a short time. When the system is armed, a red
light will flash briefly once every two seconds. (Note:
If
you return
to
your vehicle and the red light is flashing
two
brief flashes every two seconds, the system
is
armed
and the shock sensor had triggered a two minute alarm.
If
the red light is flashing three times every two seconds,
the system is armed and there was an intrusion that
sounded the alarm). Horn chirps and parking lamp
flashes can be set to your choice.
If
all the doors are closed, locking the vehicle with
the transmitter will immediately arm the system. The
horn will chirp twice and the parking lamps will flash,
confirming that the system is armed.
If
any door is open
when the transmitter
LOCK
button
is
pressed, the
system goes into an armed wait mode, waiting for the
doors to close. Once they are closed, the system will
arm, chirp the horn twice and flash the parking lamps.
If
the hatch is open or ajar at the time the system is
arming, the horn will only chirp once.
Power Door Lock Switch Locking
If
any door is open when the power door lock switch
is pressed, the system goes into an armed wait mode,
waiting for the doors to close. Once they are closed, the
system will arm and flash the parking lamps.
If
all of the
doors are closed when the lock switch is pressed, the
system assumes
you
are inside the vehicle,
so
it
will not
arm. Note: Locking the doors by using the manual door
locks will not arm the system.
