is actively protecting your vehicle. If you hear a second chirp after
arming and note that the LED status indicator is flashing in
groups, see the Diagnostics Section of this guide. 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 detects that you have left the vehicle by
opening and closing a door. Whenever the system is in its 30-sec-
ond passive arming countdown, the LED status indicator will
flash twice as fast as it does when the system is armed. At the 20
seconds of the countdown, the siren will chirp to indicate that the
system is about to arm. At the 30 seconds, 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.)
Additionally, each time a sensor is triggered during the
arming countdown, the 30-second countdown starts over.
Arming your security system protects your vehicle as follows:
➤ Light impacts trigger the Warning Zone signal. When trig-
gered, the siren chirps and the parking lights flash for a few
seconds.
➤ Heavy impacts trip a Triggered Sequence. The sequence
consists of the siren sounding continuously and the parking
