;Parking Lights flash one time.

;Siren will not sound.

If the siren "chirped" three times, sometime after arming, the exclusive delayed dome light learn circuit has been programmed and the sys- tem detected a open entry point after the learned delay expired. Clos- ing the hood, trunk, or doors will correct the problem and you do not need to disarm the system to make the correction.

†Doors Lock - Optional

†Doors Lock - Optional

NOTE: If the optional Headlamp illumination feature has been added, and has been selected for operation when arming, as an added convenience, the system will turn on the headlights when the system is armed.

The LCD Remote has the following response:

ARMING THE SYSTEM - PASSIVE (AUTOMATIC)

1.Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle and close and lock all doors, hood lid and trunk lid.

;The dash mounted LED begins to flash rapidly, indicating 30 second passive arming has begun.

2.Opening any protected entry point during the 30 second passive arming cycle will immediately suspend automatic arming and the 30 second passive arm- ing cycle will re-start when all doors are closed. At the end of the passive arming cycle;

;The dash mounted LED begins to flash slowly.

;Parking Lights flash one time.

;Siren sounds one chirp

If the siren did not sound when arming, then the chirps have been turned off and you should refer to the section titled “ELIMI- NATING THE ARM / DISARM CHIRPS“ in this manual.

†Doors Lock - Optional

Door locking during passive arming is a selectable feature. The alarm can be programmed to allow the doors to lock only when arming using the keychain transmitter and they will not automatically lock during passive arming.

PROTECTION WHILE THE SYSTEM IS ARMED

;Opening any protected door, hood or trunk lid will cause the alarm to immediately sound. The alarm will continue to sound for 30 seconds, then stop and continue to monitor all protected entry points. If the thief left a door opened, the alarm will sound for six 30 second cycles, remain armed and ignore that triggered zone.

;Whenever the system is armed, the red dash mounted LED indicator will slowly flash. This serves as a visual deterrent to the potential thief. The LED is a very low current bulb and will not cause the vehicle’s battery to drain, even when left unattended for extended periods.

;Whenever the system is triggered, the vehicle’s parking lights will flash for the full 30 second alarm cycle, attracting visual attention to the vehicle.

;Optional - Whenever the system is armed, the vehicle’s starting circuit will be bypassed. If the thief should choose to ignore the siren, the vehicle can not be started.
