PASSIVE REARMING
In semi-passive mode, the alarm must be armed and disarmed using the remote (see Table of Commands on page 13).
In this mode, the alarm rearms automatically 25 seconds after disarming (rearming cycle) if doors all remain closed. The indicator light flashes rapidly to indicate
that the system is in a rearming cycle.
Note: If the vehicle is equipped with power locks interfaced with the system, a device can be added to prevent doors from locking if the key is still in the ignition
during rearming. If applicable, this device allows system to be armed but cancels locking.
The key detection device is
, is not
installed on this vehicle.
The following table shows the effect of each zone on the rearming cycle.
PROTECTION ZONE
EFFECT ON REARMING CYCLE
Hood
Additional sensor
Shock sensor
These three zones prolong rearming cycle as long as they remain in violation.
Ignition
Activated by ignition key: Cancels rearming
Activated by remote starter: No effect
Doors

This zone cancels rearming completely
Warning No
effect
Applying the brakes or activating the Temporary Valet Mode (see page 17) cancels rearming.
PASSIVE REARMING
In passive rearming mode, opening a door triggers the rearming cycle.
The alarm will be armed 30 seconds after checking that all protection zones are in normal condition. This 30-second period is called the "rearming cycle".
If a zone detects a violation during the rearming cycle, the countdown stops. It will restart at 30 seconds when all the zones are back to their normal conditions.
During the rearming cycle, the indicator light flashes rapidly.
After five seconds, the system sends an audible confirmation (siren chirps once) indicating that the system will arm after 25 seconds. After this delay, the alarm is
armed and a second confirmation (the siren chirps once and the parking lights flash once) is sent out, indicating that the system is armed.
If you wish to remain in the vehicle without driving off, you can cancel the rearming cycle by applying the brakes.
When you exit the vehicle, the cycle resumes and the system arms automatically.
If you disarm the system and do not open a door within 1 minute, it rearms itself automatically. The following table shows the effect that each zone has on the
rearming cycle.
PROTECTION ZONE
EFFECT ON REARMING CYCLE
Hood
Doors
Additional sensor
Shock sensor
These four zones prolong rearming cycle as long as they remain in violation.
Ignition
Activated by ignition key: Cancels rearming
Activated by remote starter: No effect
Warning No
effect
Applying brakes or turning key in ignition to RUN position cancels rearming (until a door is opened, which causes rearming cycle to restart from the beginning).
See also "TEMPORARY VALET MODE" (page 1717) and "DOME LIGHT DURATION" (page 21).
You can only disarm with the remote control by pressing the button (see Table of Commands on page 13).
The system is disarmed immediately and restarts the rearming cycle from the beginning.
TO TERMINATE AN ALARM CONDITION
You can terminate an alarm condition by pressing the
button, which also disarms the system. Pressing the
button or the stop command will terminate the
alarm condition without disarming the system.

Door openings and closings are simulated for factory system when a Directed Electronics Canada Inc. system is present. Consequently, if the vehicle is equipped with a factory security system and its runtime
expires during the rearming cycle, it is reactivated but not the Directed Electronics Canada Inc. security system.
