System Operation
ARMING OPERATION
To arm the system press transmitter button 1:
• The siren will chirp once.
• The parking lights will flash once.*
• The doors will lock.*
• The LED will turn solid for 10 seconds
then start flashing slowly. After 10
seconds the system is armed.
After Arming, if the system detects a bad
sensor or an open zone, the siren will chirp
and the parking lights will flash 4 times to
indicate a zone is open. The system will
ignore that input, but keep all other areas
protected.
WhileArmed,the system will trigger if:
• The doors are opened.
• The shock sensor detects an impact.
• An optional sensor is disturbed.
• The hood or trunk is opened.
When triggered by the door or hood/trunk
input the siren will sound, the horn will
honk, and the parking lights will flash for 45
seconds. If triggered by a sensor, the alarm
cycle will last 30 seconds.
If the same input triggers the system 3 times
during a single arming cycle, the system will
bypass that input, keeping the other zones
protected, until the next time the system is
armed.
If the shock sensor detects a light impact to
the vehicle or an optional sensor is
disturbed, the system will chirp and the
parking lights will flash 5 times to warn away
the potential intruder.
