Programming
Programming options control what your system does during normal operation, and require few
or no additional parts. However, some may require additional installation labour.
The following is a list of the program settings, with the factory settings in Bold:
Active arming (only with the remote) or passive arming (automatic arming 30-seconds after
the last door has been closed).
Arming/disarming confirmation siren chirps on or off.
The ignition controlled door lock feature on or off: With this feature on, the doors will lock
three seconds after the ignition is turned on, and the doors are closed, and unlock when the
ignition is turned off. The system will not lock the doors when the ignition is turned on with
any door open. If your installer is programming the security system with a handheld
programming tool, ignition lock and unlock are independent features and can be
programmed separately.
Passive door locking (with passive arming) or active door locking (only when arming with the
remote). Passive locking allows the vehicle's doors to lock when the security system passively
arms (after the 30 second countdown). This feature only works if passive arming has been
programmed.
NOTE: When programmed for passive arming and active lock,
if the system is disarmed without a door being opened,
the system will relock the doors when it passively rearms.
Panic mode enabled/disabled with the ignition on: Some states have laws against siren
capability in a moving vehicle.
Forced passive arming on or off: If your system is programmed for passive arming and the
forced passive arming feature has been programmed on, the system will passively arm after
one hour, even if a protected entry has been left open. This feature is useful if a door has
been left ajar when leaving the vehicle. Forced passive arming ensures that the security
system will be armed in every situation.
NOTE: When the system passively arms after one hour, the entry
point that has been left open, and anything connected to the
same zone, is bypassed and cannot trigger the system. However,
the remaining inputs to the system are fully operational.
Automatic Engine Disable (AED) on or off: The purpose of this feature is to protect the
vehicle from being stolen at all times, regardless of whether or not the alarm is armed. If
AED is programmed on, the starter of the vehicle will be disabled 30 seconds after the
ignition is turned off. Once the key is turned off, the in-vehicle LED will flash slowly (one half
its normal armed rate) to indicate the AED arming cycle. Thirty seconds later, the starter of
the vehicle will be disabled. To start the car, it will be necessary to disarm the system with
the remote. It is also possible to disarm the AED feature by turning the ignition key to the
