The system can also 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 open-
ing and closing a door. Whenever the system is in its 30-second
passive arming countdown, the status LED will flash twice as fast
as it does when the system is armed.
NOTE:
If any protected entry point (such as a door or a switch-protect-
ed trunk or hood) is open, the system will not passively arm (unless
forced passive arming is programmed on. See Programming Options sec-
tion). Additionally, each time a sensor is triggered during the arming
countdown, the 30-second countdown starts over.
When armed, your vehicle is protected in the following ways:
■
Light impacts will trigger the Warn Away
®
signal. When trig-
gered, the siren will chirp and the parking lights will flash for
a few seconds.
■
Heavy impacts will trigger the system. The trigger sequence
is 30 seconds of constant siren and flashing parking lights.
■
If a door is opened, the system will immediately start chirp-
ing the siren and flashing the parking lights. Three seconds
later, the siren output changes to a continuous blast. This
progressive response gives you time to disarm the system
with your transmitter if you inadvertently open the door
while the system is armed, while still providing an instant
response (even if the door is immediately closed).
