Passive Arming
When the Arming Mode has been set for Passive Arming, the system arms itself automatically,
each time the ignition is turned off and all of the doors, hood and trunk are closed.
To start the Passive Arming Process:
1. Turn off the ignition.*
• The status LED will begin to flash quickly.
2. Open the door and exit the vehicle.
• Once all doors are closed and the dome light is turned off, the LED will turn off.
3. After 20 seconds,
• The siren will chirp.
• The parking lights will flash.
• The doors will lock.**
• The status LED will flash red, indicating the system is armed.
4. The system is now armed.
* The ignition must have been on for at least 4 seconds before the Passive Arming sequence will begin.
** If the Passive Locking feature is selected.
To temporarily disable Passive Arming, you can turn the ignition key on then off, within 4 seconds.
The status LED will stop flashing, and the system will not passively arm until the next time the
key is on for more than 4 seconds. This feature is useful for turning off passive arming when
refueling or washing your car or if you want to sit in your car and do not want the system to arm.
Panic Mode

To enter Panic Mode:
1. Press and hold Button 1 for 2 seconds.

2. Press Button 1 again to stop Panic Mode.*
If Panic Mode is not stopped by the Remote, it will automatically time out after 40 seconds, and
the system will return to its prior Armed/Disarmed state.
