Using the system

Active arming

You can arm the system by pressing of your transmitter for one
second. When the system arms, you hear a short siren sound, or chirp,
and see the parking lights flash once. If the power door locks are con-
trolled by the system, the doors also lock. While the system is armed,
the status LED flashes approximately once per second, indicating that
�������
the system is actively protecting your vehicle. If you hear a second chirp
after arming, and see the status LED flashing in groups, then consult the
Diagnostics Section of this guide. This extra chirp is a Bypass Notifca-
tion.

Passive arming

The system can be programmed to arm itself automatically (called passive
arming). If the system is programmed for passive arming, it will automati-
cally arm 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off and the system detects
that you have left 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. At the 20-sec-
ond point of the countdown, the siren will chirp to indicate that the system
is about to arm. At the 30-second point, the parking lights will flash to
indicate that 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.
