using your system
manual (active) arming
The factory default is active arming. In this mode you can activate, or
arm, the system by locking the doors with your factory keyless entry
transmitter. When the system arms, you will hear a short horn honk and
see the parking lights (optional) flash once. While the system is armed,
the status LED will flash about twice a second, showing that the system
is actively protecting your vehicle. If you hear a second short horn honk
after arming, and see the status LED flashing in groups, see Diagnostics
section. This extra short horn honk is called Bypass Notification.
automatic (passive) arming
The 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 status LED will flash twice as fast as it does when the system is
armed. When the system arms, you will hear a short horn honk and the
parking lights (optional) will flash once. The doors lock (if connected
and programmed for passive locking).
nnoottee:: Passive arming may qualify for a higher insurance dis-
count. Check with your insurance agent
nnoottee:: If the ignition is turned on within 60 seconds of arming
the system, the system will automatically disarm.
