While the system is armed, the status LED will flash approxi-

mately once per second, indicating that the system is actively

protecting your vehicle. If you hear a second chirp after arming,

and see the status LED flashing in groups, refer to the

Diagnostics

section of this guide. This extra chirp is called Bypass Notification.

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. The siren will chirp

once 20 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

the 30 second mark, but the siren will not chirp. The early chirp

provides you with a 10-second warning prior to arming.

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 of this
guide. Additionally, each time a protected entry is trig-
gered during the arming countdown, the 30-second
countdown starts over.
