Using Your System
The buttons described in all instructions in this manual correspond
to the standard configuration, unless otherwise specified.
You can arm the security system and lock your vehicle’s doors (if
connected) by pressing for one second. When the system arms,
you will hear a short siren sound (chirp) and the parking lights will
flash once. Once armed, the status LED will flash twice per second
to indicate that the system is actively protecting your vehicle. If
you hear a second chirp after arming and notice that the status LED
is flashing in a grouped pattern, this signals Bypass Notification,
which is described in the Diagnostics section of this manual.
The system can also be programmed to arm itself automatically 30
seconds after the ignition is turned off and the last vehicle door has
been closed (called Passive Arming). Once the 30-second countdown
period initiates, the status LED will flash twice as fast as it does
when the system is armed. After 20 seconds, the siren will chirp once
to warn that the system has only 10 seconds remaining prior to arm-
ing. The system is not actually armed at this point. The system arms
itself at the 30-second mark. At this point, the vehicle doors will
also lock (if programmed for Passive Locking) and the status LED
will begin flashing twice per second to indicate armed status. If Pas-
sive Locking is activated, care must be taken to prevent the keys
from being locked in the vehicle.
