Using Your System
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 siren sound, or chirp, 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 actively protecting your
vehicle. If you hear a second chirp after arming, and see the sta-
tus LED flashing in groups, see Diagnostics section. This extra chirp
is called Bypass Notification.
NOTE:
If the ignition is turned on within 60 seconds of arming the sys-
tem, 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 pas-
sive-arming countdown, the status LED will flash twice as fast as
it does when the system is armed. When the system arms the siren
will chirp and the parking lights will flash once. The doors lock (if
connected and programmed for passive locking).
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. Additionally,
each time a sensor is triggered during the arming countdown, the 30-sec-
ond countdown starts over.
