PASSIVE ARMING THE SYSTEM:
If the passive arming feature has been selected:
Turn the engine OFF, exit the vehicle, and close all doors, hood and trunk.
The dash mounted LED will begin to flash rapidly indicating that the 30
second passive arming timer has begun. If the LED does not begin to flash
rapidly, then you have left a door, hood, or trunk ajar. Closing this entry point
will allow the arming cycle will begin. If any entry point is opened during the
30 second arming cycle, arming will be suspended. When all entry points are
closed, the arming cycle will begin again.
At the end of the 30 seconds, the parking lights will flash once, the siren will
chirp once, and the dash mounted LED will begin to flash slowly confirming
the system is armed. If the siren did not sound when arming, then the chirps
have been turned off. Refer to the section on "Eliminating the Arm/Disarm
Chirps" shown later in this manual. Passive door locking is a selectable
feature. If you have the optional door lock/unlock circuit installed, the doors
may or may not lock passively depending upon the setup during installation.
PROTECTION WHILE THE SYSTEM IS ARMED:
Opening any protected entry point, hood, trunk, or doors will cause the alarm
to trigger immediately. The siren will sound and the parking lights will flash
for 30 seconds, then stop and continue to monitor all protected entry points. If
the thief left the door opened, the system will sound for six 30 second cycles
then shut down, isolate the triggered zone and continue to protect all other
zones.
Whenever the system is armed, the dash mounted LED will slowly flash. This
serves as a visual deterrent to a potential thief. This LED is a very low current
light emitting diode, and will not cause the battery to drain even if left
unattended for long periods of time.
Whenever the system is triggered, the vehicle's parking lights will flash for the
full siren sounding period. Optional - whenever the system is triggered, the
interior courtesy light will flash for the full siren sounding period.
Whenever the system is armed, the vehicle starter circuit is disabled, and the
vehicle will not start with the ignition key.
Whenever the system is armed, any strong impact to the vehicle will cause
the shock sensor to trigger the alarm. Any lesser impact will cause the pre-
detect stage of the shock sensor to emit a few short series of warning tones
from the siren.
