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.
When armed, your vehicle is protected as follows:
➤ Light impacts will trigger the Warn Away ® signal. When trig-
gered, the siren will chirp and the parking lights will flash for
a few seconds.
➤ Heavy impacts will trigger the system. The triggered
sequence is between 1-180 seconds of constant siren and
flashing parking lights.
➤ 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 of this
guide. Additionally, each time a protected entry is trig-
gered during the arming countdown, the 30-second
countdown starts over.
