Print PageArming The Security System
"Arming" your security system, or placing it into a state whereby an intrusion attempt
will activate it, may be done by two methods. First, the transmitter may be used to "actively"
arm the system, provided the ignition switch is "off" and the system is not in Valet Mode.
Second, an automatic method of "passively" arming the security system is Last Door
Arming. This method may be selectively programmed to operate or not operate, and if
utilized, it will operate in conjunction with Active Arming.
Active Arming The Security System Using The Transmitter:
system can always be armed with the transmitter if the ignition switch is "off" and the system
is not in the Valet Mode. To arm the system after you exit the vehicle and close all doors,
simply press the large transmitter button once. The parking lights will flash once, the siren
will chirp once, and the LED Status Light will begin flashing, confirming that the system
is arming. Provided the optional doorlock interface was installed, the doors will also lock
upon arming, and the optional starter interrupt relay will prevent any attempt to start the
vehicle. Three seconds after the siren chirp the system becomes fully armed, and will
activate if an intrusion attempt is detected.
Arming Bypass: Upon active arming, if the hood/trunk circuit or shock sensor is in a
violated state, the system will arm with three siren confirmation chirps and three parking
light flashes to alert you. When this occurs, protection for that circuit will be bypassed, but
Status Light will flash slow three seconds later, confirming that the alarm is fully armed. If
a point of entry is reopened before the single chirp and parking flash, the Last Door Arming
will be suspended until the point of entry is reclosed. When the 30 second siren chirp occurs
the alarm will become armed; the doors will lock if the door lock interface is installed and
the "Doors Lock With Last Door Arming and Automatic Rearming" feature is turned on, and
the optional starter disable engages. Three seconds later the LED Status Light will flash
slow, confirming that the alarm is now fully armed. The "Last Door Arming" feature offers
a high level of security, since you do not have to remember to arm the alarm system each
time you exit your vehicle. In addition, Last Door arming may entitle you to an insurance
discount.
Please note the following parameters of the Last Door Arming feature:
- Arming Bypass does not operate with the Last Door Arming feature. This bypass feature
only operates when arming from the transmitter because all protected entries must be
closed for the Last Door Arming countdown to start.
- To prevent the security system from Last Door Arming while vehicle is being refueled or
at other times automatic arming is not desired, you should put the system in Valet Mode
or you may keep your door open. Leaving the ignition switch "on" is not recommended.
- You can still arm the alarm instantly from the transmitter at anytime during the 30 second
Last Door Arming countdown.

protection will be reinstated for the affected circuit if its normal state is restored. For
example, if the trunk is left open, you can still arm the system normally from the transmitter.
The bypassed circuit will automatically be reinstated for protection three seconds after that
circuit becomes operative, i.e., the trunk is closed. When a circuit is in a bypassed state, all
other operating circuits will be protected normally. If desired, the system may be
programmed so that an open door will also produce this three siren chirp and light flash
warning.
Auxiliary Sensor Bypass: When actively arming the security system, the auxiliary
sensor, if present, may be bypassed if desired. After arming the system, within five seconds
of hearing the arming confirmation chirp, press the small transmitter button. You will hear
another siren chirp confirming the security system has armed without the sensor circuit
protecting the vehicle. The next time you arm the security system, the system will reset to
its normal condition, and the sensor will again be part of your protection.
Passively Arming The Security System With The Last Door Arming
Feature:
The security system can be programmed to arm itself automatically when the
vehicle's last door is closed. The moment the last door closes the system begins a countdown.
Once the countdown begins the system will give one chirp and the parking lights will flash
once, confirming that all points of entry are closed, and the arming process is in progress.
This period is indicated by a fast-flashing LED Status Light. Thirty seconds after the last
door was closed, the siren will chirp again, the parking lights will flash once, and the LED
Security System Armed And Activated
While the security system is in an armed state, the LED Status Light will be flashing. In
this mode, any entry or optional sensor violation will instantly activate the system. Once
activated, the following actions will occur:
1) The electronic siren will start sounding, and every 5 seconds the siren will change
its sound to generate more attention to the vehicle.
2) The exterior lights will flash during the activation period.
3) If configured, the doors will relock. This feature is so unique to this security system
that it even knows when a door is opened and, if so, the system waits until the door
is closed before relocking them, so that the thief cannot easily regain entry.
The siren and lights will stay active for 60 seconds before automatically resetting, unless
you disarm the system with the transmitter or Valet Switch and ignition key. If all protected
entries are secure at the end of the 60 seconds, the system will stop and rearm automatically
to detect, and respond to, another entry attempt. If there is a protected entry still open, or a
sensor still in a triggered state at the end of 60 seconds, the system will reactivate for two
more 60 second cycles. The system will stop after a total of 3 minutes and rearm
automatically, while ignoring only the open entry or triggered circuit. When the entry is
closed, protection will instantly be reinstated for that circuit.
After the security system is triggered, the disarm confirmation will no longer be 2 chirps,
and the exterior lights staying on for 30 seconds. Instead, the system will respond by
producing 4 siren chirps and flashing the lights 4 times before the lights stay on for 30
