rized dealer voids the warranty. All dealers are provided with a
preprinted dealer certificate to verify that they are authorized.

Using your system
Manual (active) arming
The factory default is active arming. Y ou can activate or arm the sys -
tem by locking the doors with your factory keyless entry transmitter .
When the system arms, you will hear a short siren chirp and see the
p arking light s flash once.
While the system is armed the st atus LED flashes about twice a sec -
ond, to show that the system is actively protecting your vehicle. If you
hear a second short siren chirp af ter arming, and the st atus LED is
flashing in group s, then go to Diagnostics section (p age 9). This extra
short siren chirp is called Byp ass Notification.
Automatic (passive) arming
The system also can be programmed to arm it self automatically
(called p assive arming). If the system is programmed for p assive
arming, it will automatically arm 30 seconds af ter the ignition is turned
of f and the system sees you leave the vehicle by opening and clos -
ing a door . Whenever the system is in it s 30-second p assive-arming
count down, the st atus LED will flash twice as fast as it does when the
system is armed. When the system arms, you will hear a short siren
chirp and the p arking light s will flash once. The doors lock (if con -
nected and programmed for passive locking).
NNoottee::
If the ignition is turned on within 60 seconds of
arming the system, the system will automatically disarm.
NNoottee::
The system can be programmed to sound horn honks or
siren chirps. The horn is optional and may require additional
labor.

If any protected entry point (such as a door or a switch-protected
trunk or hood) is open, the system will not p assively arm.
Additionally , each time a sensor is trig gered duri ng the arming count -
down, the 30-second count down st art s over .
Note: Passive arming may qualify for a higher insurance discount.
Check with your insurance agent
Armed protection
When armed, your vehicle is protected as follows:
Light imp acts to your vehicle trigger the warn away signal.
The system chirp s the siren and flashes the parking light s
for a few seconds.
Heavy impact s trigger the system. The triggered sequence
is 30 or 60 seconds of the siren sounding continuously and
flashing p arking light s.
If a door is opened the system immediately st art s short
chirp s of the siren and flashes the p arking light s. Three
seconds later the siren output changes to a continuous
blast. This progressive response gives you time to disarm
the system with your transmitter while providing inst ant
response if you inadvertenly open a door while the sys -
tem is armed. (even if the door is immediately closed).
T urning on the ignition key triggers the same progressive
response as opening a door.
If the st arter kill relay is inst alled, the st arter interrupt pre -
vent s the vehicle s st arter from cranking.
NNoottee::
If programmed for instant trigger, the siren sounds a
full trigger response after the door has been opened
