Passive arming
The system 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 detects that you have left the vehicle by opening and
closing a door. Whenever the system is in its 30-second passive
arming countdown, the in-vehicle status LED will flash twice as
fast as it does when the system is armed. At the 20-second point of
the countdown, the siren will chirp to indicate that the system is
about to arm. At the 30-second point, the parking lights will flash
to indicate that the system is armed.
The LCD remote responds to passive arming with one beep and
the icon will flash 3times to indicate successful arming of
the system.
When armed your vehicle is protected as follows:
➤ Light impacts trigger the Warn Away ® signal. When triggered,
the siren chirps and the parking lights flash for a few seconds.
➤ Heavy impacts trip a Triggered Sequence. The sequence
consists of the siren sounding continuously and the parking
lights flashing for a pre-programmed period, which can
range in duration from 1 to 180 seconds.
➤ If a door is opened, the system will immediately start
note: If any protected entry point (such as a door or a
switch-protected trunk or hood) is open, the system will
not passively arm (unless forced passive arming is pro-
grammed on. See Programming Options section.) Addi-
tionally, if a door, hood or trunk is triggered during the
arming countdown, the 30-second countdown starts over.
