arming
You can activate, or arm, the system by pressing
on your remote
for one second. When the system arms, you will hear two short siren
sounds, or chirps, and see the parking lights flash twice. The LED will
begin to flash steadily. If the vehicle’s power door locks have been con-
nected to the system, the doors will lock.
While the system is armed, the LED status indicator will flash approxi-
mately once per second showing that the system is actively protecting
your vehicle. If you hear more than two chirps when arming, refer to
the
Diagnostics
section of this guide. These extra chirps confirm a mal-
function autobypass.
The security 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 passive-arming
countdown. The siren will chirp twice and the lights will flash twice five
seconds after the last door has been closed. The system is not actually
armed at that point. The system arms and the doors lock (if connected
and programmed for passive locking) at 30 seconds, but the siren will
not chirp. The early chirps provide you with a 25-second warning prior
to arming.
nnoottee:: If any protected entry point (a door or a switch-protected trunk or
hood) is open, the system will not passively arm. Additionally, each
time a protected entry is triggered during the arming countdown, the
30-second countdown starts over.
