Using Your System
Arming
You can turn on, or arm, the system by pressing Button I of your transmitter
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 vehicle’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 second,
showing that the system is actively protecting your vehicle.
If you hear a second chirp
after arming and see the Status LED flash in
groups, see
Diagnostics
section. This extra chirp is called Bypass Notification.
The system can be programmed to arm itself automatically (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 seconds.
• Heavy impacts will trigger the system. The trigger sequence is 30 sec-
onds 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).
• Turning on the ignition key will trip the same progressive response as
opening a door.
• The optional starter kill prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking.
