active arming
You can arm the system by pressing of your transmitter for
one second. When the system arms, you will hear a short siren
sound, or chirp, and see the parking lights flash once. If the
power door locks are controlled by the system, the doors will also
lock. While the system is armed, the status LED will flash
approximately once per second, indicating that the system is
actively protecting your vehicle. If you hear a second chirp after
arming and note that the status LED is flashing in groups, see the
Diagnostics Section of this guide. This extra chirp is called Bypass
Notification.
passive arming
The system 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 detects that you have left 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. At the 20-second point of the count-
down, the siren will chirp to indicate that the system is about to
arm. At the 30-second point, the parking lights will flash to indicate
that the system is armed.
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).
