Using Your System
Arming
You can turn on, or arm, the system by pressing Button I of your trans-
mitter for one second. When the system arms, you will hear a short
siren sound, or chirp, and see the parking lights flash once. If the vehi-
cle’s power door locks are controlled by the system, the doors will lock.
While the system is armed, the Status LED will flash about twice a sec-
ond, showing that the system is actively protecting your vehicle. If you
hear a second chirp after arming and see the Status LED flashes in
groups, see Diagnostics section. This extra chirp is called Bypass
Notification. The system also can be programmed to arm itself auto-
matically (called passive arming). If the system is programmed for
passive arming, it will automatically arm 30 seconds after the ignition
is turned off and the system "sees" you leave the vehicle by opening
and closing a door. Whenever the system is in its 30 second passive-
arming countdown, the Status LED will flash twice as fast as it does
when the system is armed.
NOTE: If any protected entry point (such as a door or a switch-protected trunk or hood) is open, the system will
not passively arm (unless forced passive arming is programmed on. See Programming Options section).
Additionally, each time a sensor is triggered during the arming countdown, the 30 second countdown starts over.
When armed, your vehicle is protected in the following ways:
• Light impacts will trigger the Warn-Away
®
signal. When triggered,
the siren will chirp and the parking lights will flash for a few sec-
onds.
• Heavy impacts will trigger the system. The trigger sequence is 30
seconds of constant siren and flashing parking lights.
• If a door is opened, the system will immediately start chirping the
siren and flashing the parking lights. Three seconds later, the siren
output changes to a continuous blast. This progressive response
gives you time to disarm the system with your transmitter if you
inadvertently open the door while the system is armed, while still
providing instant response (even if the door is immediately closed).
