ALARM FUNCTIONS
Your installer can program your alarm/remote starter in
Passive Arming Mode
, so that the system
automatically arms itself when you leave your vehicle, or in

disarm your car at will.
In either mode, you can arm or disarm your alarm system using your remote control and if your system was
installed with remote door locks, you can lock or unlock your doors at the same time.
NOTE:
The alarm functions can be used and are active in the same way
whether the engine is running
under the remote or not
. In other words, your vehicle benefits from high security protection at all times.
