Arming your security system protects your vehicle to the following
degrees:
Light impacts trigger a Warn Away
®
response, causing the siren
to chirp and the parking lights to flash for a few seconds.
Heavy impacts trip a trigger sequence, which consists of the
siren sounding continuously and the parking lights flashing
for 30 seconds.
If a door is opened, the siren immediately starts chirping and
the parking lights start flashing to provide an instant
response. Three seconds later, the siren output changes to a
continuous blast. This two-stage progressive response allows
you time to disarm the security system with your remote
transmitter, in case the door is inadvertently opened while
the system is armed.
Turning on the ignition key triggers the same two-stage pro-
gressive response as opening a door.
The Failsafe
®
Starter Kill prevents the vehicle’s starter from
cranking.
Press to disarm the security system when it is already armed.
If the power locks are controlled by the system, the doors will also
unlock. Disarming is confirmed when the parking lights flash twice
and the siren emits two chirps. The status LED will also stop flash-
ing. The siren chirping either four or five times when disarming
indicates Tamper Alert, which is described in the Diagnostics
section of this guide.
