using your system

manual (active) arming

The factory default is active arming. In this mode you can activate, or
arm, the system by pressing the button on your transmitter. When
the system arms, you will hear a short horn honk and see the parking
lights flash once. 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 short horn honk after arming, and
see the status LED flashing in groups, see Diagnostics section. This extra
short horn honk is called Bypass Notification.

automatic (passive) arming

The system also 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. When the system arms, you will hear a short horn honk and the
parking lights will flash once. The doors lock (if connected and pro-
grammed for passive locking).
