Arming the System
The alarm system
can
be
armed to detect break-ins
by locking your vehicle
using the keyless entry or
by locking the doors with
the power door lock switch.
Keyless Entry Transmitter Locking
If all the doors are closed, locking the vehicle with
the transmitter will immediately arm the system. The
horn will chirp twice and the parking lamps will flash,
confirming that the system is armed. If any door is open
when the transmitter LOCK button is pressed, the
system goes into an armed wait mode, waiting for the
doors to close. Once they are closed, the system will
arm, the horn chirps twice and the parking lamps will
flash. If the hatch is open or ajar at the time the system
is arming, the horn will only chirp once.
Passive arming is also available, if you would like the
system to
arm
all by itself after the doors have been
closed for a short time. When the system is armed, a red
light will flash briefly once every two seconds. (Note: If
you return to your vehicle and the red light is flashing
two brief flashes every two seconds, the system is armed
and the shock sensor had triggered a two minute alarm.
If the red light is flashing three times every two seconds,
the system is armed and there was an intrusion that
sounded the alarm.) Horn chirps and parking lamp
flashes can be set to your choice.
Power Door Lock Switch Locking
If any door is open when the power door lock switch
is pressed, the system goes into an armed wait mode,
waiting for the doors to close. Once they are closed, the
system will arm and the parking lamps will
flash. If both
of the doors are closed when the lock switch is pressed,
the system assumes you are inside the vehicle, so it will
not arm. Note: Locking the doors by using the manual
door locks will not
arm
the system.
