You can arm the system by pressing
of your transmitter for one
second. When the system arms, you will hear a short siren sound,
or chirp, and see the parking lights flash once. If the power door
locks are controlled by the system, the doors will also lock. While
the system is armed, the status LED will flash approximately twice
per second, indicating that the system is actively protecting your
vehicle. 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 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-second passive arming count-
down, the status LED will flash twice as fast as it does when the sys-
tem 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.
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 count-
down, the 30-second countdown starts over.
Arming your security system protects your vehicle as follows:
