Arming the System The alarm system can be armed to detect break-ins by locking your vehicle using the Remote Lock Control transmitter or by locking the doors with the power door lock switch. Passive arming is alsoavailable, if you would like thesystem to arm all by itself after the doors have been closed for a short time. When the system is armed, a red light will flashbriefly once every two seconds. (Note: If you return to your vehicle and the red light is flashing brief flashes every two seconds, the two system is armed and the shock sensor had triggered a two minute alarm. If the red light is flashing three times every two seconds, the systemis armed and there was an intrusion that sounded the alarm). Horn chirps and parking lamp flashes can be set toyour choice. Power Door Lock Switch Locking If any door is open when the power door lock switch is pressed, the system goes into an armed wait mode, waiting for the doors to close. Once they are closed, the system will arm and flash the parking lamps. If all of the doors areclosed when the lock switch is pressed, the system assumes you are inside of the vehicle, so it will not arm. Note: Locking the doorsby using the manual door locks will not arm the system. Passive Arming If the ignition was just turned off and a door was opened, the system will arm six secondsafter all doors are closed,whether or not you lock them. In all other cases, the system will wait 30 seconds after all doors are closed before arming, allowing you time to get into the vehicle and the key in the ignition. The parking lamps will flash when the system arms. Remote Lock Control Transmitter Locking If all the doors are closed, locking vehicle this way the will immediately arm the system. Thehorn will chirp twice and the parking lamps will flash, confirmingthat the system is armed. If any door isopen when the transmitter LOCK button is pressed, the system goes into anarmed wait mode, waiting for the doors to close. Once they are closed,the system will arm, chirp the horns twiceand flash the parking lamps.If the hatch is open or ajarat the time the system is arming, the horn will only chirp once. Disarming the System There are two ways to disarm the system: 1. Press the UNLOCK button on the Remote Lock Control transmitter, OR if the horn chirps two or three times when you unlock the car, the alarm sounded in your absence. Two chirps means that the shock sensor was set off and three chirps means 2-14
