"Arming" your security system, which is to place it into a state whereby an intrusion
attempt will activate it, may be done by two methods. First, the transmitter may be used to
"actively"armthesystem,providedtheignitionswitchis"off"andthesystemisnotinValet
Mode.Second, anautomatic methodof"passively" armingthe security systemis LastDoor
Arming. This method may be selectively programmed to operate or not operate, and if it is
utilized, it will not affect the operation of Active Arming via the transmitter.

Door arming may entitle you to an insurance discount. As “Last Door Arming” is a
programmable feature, if its operation is not desired it may be turned off.
-To prevent the security system from Last Door Arming while vehicle is being refueled
or at other times automatic arming is not desired, you should put the system in Valet
Mode or you may keep your door open. Leaving the ignition switch "on" is not
recommended.
-You can still arm the alarm instantly from the transmitter anytime during the 30 second
Last Door Arming countdown.

Security System Armed And Activated
While the security system is in an armed state, the LED Status Light will be flashing. In
this mode, any detected entry or triggered sensor will instantly activate the system. When
activated, the following actions occur:
- The electronic siren will start sounding, changing its sound every 5 seconds to
attract more attention to the vehicle.
- The exterior lights will flash during the activation period.
Thesirenwillsoundandthelightswillflashfor30seconds,atwhichtimethesystemwill
automatically reset, unless you disarm the system with the transmitter or Valet Switch and
ignitionkey. The30secondactivationperiodisprogrammable;ifdesired,theactivatedperiod
may be changed to be 60 seconds.
If all protected entries are secure at the end of the activated cycle, the system will stop
andrearmautomatically to detect, and respond to, another entry attempt. However, if there
is a protected entry still open, or a sensor still in a violated state at the end of the activation
period,the system will respond one of two ways. If the door circuit is violated, andremains
so, the system will reactivate for up to three more cycles before it rearms and bypasses the
door circuit. Should any of the other protected zones be in a violated state at the end of the
activated cycle, the system will rearm with that zone bypassed. In either case, should the

bypassed zone be secured, protection will be reinstated for that circuit. If the system does
rearm with a bypassed zone, all other secure zones are still fully protected.
After the security system has been activated, the audible disarm confirmation will no
longerbe2 chirps;instead,the systemwillrespondbyproducing 4sirenchirps. Inaddition,
the LED Status Light will change to flashing one to four times between pauses, instead of
flashing fast to indicate Automatic Rearming, or being off if Automatic Rearming is turned
off. This flash sequence indicates which protected zone triggered the system.
- 1 flash, pause, repeat = system was activated by current sensing.
- 2 flashes, pause, repeat = system was activated from the hood or trunk circuit.
- 3 flashes and pause = system was activated from the door circuit.
- 4 flashes and pause = system was activated from the auxiliary input.
The LED Status Light will flash this violation code while the system is activated. Upon
