Using your system

The factory default is active arming. In this mode you can activate, or

arm, the system by locking the doors with your factory keyless entry

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 active-

ly protecting your vehicle. If you hear a second short horn honk after

arming, and see the status LED flashing in groups, see Diagnostics sec-

tion (page 9). This extra short horn honk is called Bypass Notification.

n n o o t t e e : : If the ignition is turned on within 60 seconds of arming

the system, the system will automatically disarm.

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).

n n o o t t e e : : Passive arming may qualify for a higher insurance dis-

count. Check with your insurance agent
