Protection zone Effect on rearming cycle
Hood
Additional sensor
Shock sensor
These three zones prolong rearming cycle as long as they remain in
violation.
Ignition
Activated by ignition key: Cancels rearming
Activated by remote starter: No effect
Doors 1 This zone cancels rearming completely.
Warning No effect
Applying brakes or activating Temporary Valet Mode (see page 12) cancels rearming.
PASSIVE REARMING
In passive rearming mode, opening a door triggers rearming cycle.
Alarm will be armed 30 seconds after checking that all protection zones are in normal condition.
This 30 second period is called "rearming cycle".
If a zone detects a violation during rearming cycle, countdown stops and restarts at 30 seconds when all zones
are back in normal condition.
During rearming cycle, indicator light flashes rapidly.
After five seconds, system sends an audible confirmation (siren chirps once), indicating that system will arm
after 25 seconds.
After this delay, alarm is armed and sends a second confirmation (siren chirps once and parking lights flash
once) to indicate that system is armed.
If you wish to remain in the vehicle without driving off, you can cancel rearming cycle by applying brakes.
When you exit the vehicle, cycle resumes and system arms automatically (see also "Temporary Valet Mode” on
page 12).
If you disarm the system and do not open the door within 60 seconds, it rearms itself automatically.
The table on the next page shows the effect that each zone has on the rearming cycle.
Protection zone Effect on rearming cycle
Hood
Doors
Additional sensor
Shock sensor
These four zones prolong rearming cycle as long as they remain in
violation.
Ignition
Activated by ignition key: Cancels rearming
Activated by remote starter: No effect
Warning No effect
Applying brakes or ignition key in "ON" position cancels rearming (until a door is opened, which causes
rearming cycle to restart from the beginning).
See also "TEMPORARY VALET MODE" (page 12) and "DOME LIGHT DURATION" (page 13).
You can disarm only with remote control by pressing button (see Table of Commands on page 4).
System is disarmed immediately and restarts rearming cycle from the beginning.
TO TERMINATE ALARM CONDITION
You can terminate alarm condition by pressing button, which also disarms system. Pressing the
button or the stop command , will terminate alarm condition without disarming system.
1 If vehicle is equipped with a factory security system and runtime expires during rearming cycle, factory security system is reactivated but not
AstroStart security system because opening a door is simulated for factory system rearming.
