ARMING

There are three different ways to arm your
alarm. Tell your dealer which is best for you:

q Active Arming

Turn your ignition OFF.
Close all the doors.
Then press transmitter
button #1. If the siren
chirps and parking lights
flash once, the alarm is fully armed.

If the siren chirps 3 times, the alarm is
either waiting for the vehicle's delayed
domelights to turn OFF (if your vehicle is
so equipped), or it is telling you that one of
the alarm's zones (a door, or the hood or
trunk) is either open or is not functioning
properly. (See ZONE BYPASS, page 5).

q Passive arming Switch sensing only

Turn the ignition OFF, and open a door to
exit the car. When the last door is closed
(and the domelight turns OFF, if your car
has delayed domelights), the siren chirps
and the parking lights flash once. The LED
flashes quickly during the 30-second
arming countdown, after which the siren
chirps and parking lights flash once more
to confirm the alarm is completely armed.

If you wish, you can open a door during
the arming countdown, and keep it open
for as long as needed. The LED turns OFF
while the door is opened. Close the last
door, and the siren will chirp and parking
lights flash once to show the 30-second
arming countdown has started again. The
LED will also begin to flash quickly.

Testing (Q.Q.T.™), and it prevents you from
thinking your alarm is armed when it may not
be. In this case, double-check that all the
doors, as well as the hood and trunk, are
closed properly, and that your vehicle's
domelights are OFF. If you cannot locate
the problem, but need to arm the alarm,
then press button #1 to immediately arm
the alarm and bypass whatever zone is
open (see ZONE BYPASS, page 5).

q Passive arming Switch/current

sensing

Turn your ignition OFF. The siren chirps
and the parking lights flash once, and the
LED begins to flash quickly to show the
alarm is in the 30-second arming
countdown. 30 seconds later, the siren
chirps and parking lights flash once more
to confirm the alarm is completely armed.

If you leave a door open during the
arming countdown, the siren chirps three
and the parking lights flash three times at
the end of the arming countdown to
indicate the alarm has armed. The
opened door is ignored until it is closed
(no chirps or flashes) and the alarm has
fully armed. However, closing it may
trigger the shock sensor if the alarm has
already armed (see ZONE BYPASS, page 5).

NOTE — Under passive arming, regardless of
how the alarm is programmed, you can force
your alarm to arm immediately any time
during the 30-second arming countdown by
pressing transmitter button #1.

If you close the last open door, and the
siren does not chirp and parking lights do
not flash, you know that one or more
openings are not closed properly. This is
SECO-LARM's patented Quick and Quiet

NOTE There are references to opening

or closing a door throughout this manual.

"Door" also includes your hood and trunk,

if they are protected. Ask your dealer.
