Using your system
Manual (active) arming
The factory default is active arming. You can activate or arm the sys-
tem by locking the doors with your factory keyless entry transmitter.
When the system arms, you will hear a short siren chirp and see the
parking lights flash once.
While the system is armed the status LED flashes about twice a sec-
ond, to show that the system is actively protecting your vehicle. If you
hear a second short siren chirp after arming, and the status LED is
flashing in groups, then go to Diagnostics section (page 9). This extra
short siren chirp 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 clos-
ing 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 siren
chirp and the parking lights will flash once. The doors lock (if con-
nected and programmed for passive locking).
N
