Using your system

manual (active) arming

The factory default is active arming. In this mode you can activate, or

arm, the system by pressing the

button on your transmitter. When

the system arms, you will hear a short horn honk and see the parking

lights flash once. While the system is armed, the status LED will flash

about once per 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 will flash once. The doors lock (if connected and pro-

grammed for passive locking).

nnoottee:: Passive arming may qualify for a higher insurance dis-
count. Check with your insurance agent
