Arming Bypass:
When arming the system using the transmitter, if any protected zone or
sensor circuit is in a violated condition, the affected zone or circuit will be
automatically bypassed. This is “Arming Bypass”, which allows the sys-
tem to still arm and protect the other normal, non-violated zones. In the
case of a bypassed zone or circuit, should the violated condition return to
normal, 5 seconds after becoming normal the system restores protection to
the previously bypassed zone or circuit.
If the hood and trunk zone, or sensor circuit is bypassed when the sys-
tem is armed, instead of the normal arming confirmation the siren will chirp
four times and the parking lights will flash four times to alert you. How-
ever, if a door zone is bypassed, the siren and light confirmation will be the
normal two chirps and flashes, as many vehicles are equipped with a de-
layed interior light illumination. In these vehicles, the interior light delay
would typically cause the system to indicate a bypass if the system is armed
during the delay. In these cases, the arming indication is normal, and the
door zone is protected by the system five seconds after the interior light
turns off.
Upon Arming:
• The siren will chirp twice (or four times if a zone is bypassed) unless
the silent arming procedure is followed.
• The parking lights will flash twice (or four times if a zone is bypassed).
• The doors will lock.*
• The starter interrupt will engage.
• The Status Indicator Light will begin to flash slowly.
Three seconds after arming, the security system becomes fully armed, and
will activate to an alarm condition should an intrusion attempt be detected.
Further transmitter operations and options are discussed on page 12.
LAST DOOR ARMING BY EXITING THE CAR
Last Door Arming
:
Last Door Arming is a programmable feature which configures the system
to arm itself without needing a command from the transmitter. This conve-
nient feature offers a high level of security and may entitle the vehicle owner
to an insurance discount since the user does not need to remember to arm
the system each time the vehicle is exited.
* The doorlock interface must be installed

The Last Door Arming process:
1- When the vehicle’s ignition has been turned off, the system waits until a
door is opened. When the door is closed, or when the last door is closed
when more than one door is opened, the siren will chirp twice, the park-
ing lights will flash twice, and the Status Indicator Light will begin flash-
ing rapidly. The Last Door Arming countdown has begun.
2- Thirty seconds later the siren will again chirp twice, the parking lights
will again flash twice, the starter interrupt will engage, and the Status
Indicator Light will begin flashing slowly. If programmed to do, the
vehicle’s doors will also lock.* Three seconds after these actions occur,
the system is fully armed.
Notes
:
-
If a door is reopened during the thirty second period between the first
and second set of double chirps, the countdown will stop and reset. When
the reopened door is closed again, the 30 second countdown starts over
again at the beginning.
- Last Door Arming is separate from, and does not effect the operation of
arming by using the transmitter.
- All protected points must be closed or otherwise in a non-violated state
for the Last Door Arming sequence to start. Unlike active arming from
the transmitter, the system can not bypass an open or detected zone and
arm itself.
To temporarily prevent the system from arming itself:
- Place the system in Valet Mode using the Valet Switch (page 14).
- Leave a vehicle door open. Although this varies depending on the vehicle,
in many cases turning on the interior light will be detected by the system
as an open door.
- Although the system will not Last Door Arm while the ignition is on,
leaving the ignition key turned on without the engine running is not
recommended.
* The doorlock interface must be installed
The Last Door Arming feature may be coupled, if desired, with the auto-
matic locking of the vehicle’s doors when the system arms itself.*
