Using Your System; Active Arming; Passive Arming - Avital 5103 Owner's Manual

Using your system

➢ Active arming

You can arm the system by pressing
When the system arms, you will hear a short siren chirp and see the parking
lights flash once. If the power door locks are con trolled by the system, the doors
will also lock. While the sys tem is armed, the status LED will flash approximately
once per sec ond, indicating that the system is actively pro tect ing your vehicle.
Note: If you hear a second chirp after arming and note that the status LED is
flashing in groups, see the Diagnostics Section of this guide. This extra chirp is
called Bypass No ti fi ca tion.

➢ Passive arming

The system can be programmed to arm itself au to mat i cal ly (called pas sive 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 arm-
ing count down, the status LED will flash twice as fast as it does when the system
is armed. At the 20-second 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.
Important: 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).
When armed your vehicle is protected as follows:
• Light impacts trigger the Warn Away
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 lights flashing for a pre-pro-
grammed period, which can range in duration from 1 to 180 seconds.
