transmitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any remote

transmitter button to any receiver function. The transmitter

initially comes programmed with Standard Configuration, but

may also be customized by an authorized dealer. The buttons in

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.
