Installation guide

Programming options

Programming options control your system’s normal, operational set-up. Most op-

tions do not require additional parts, but some may require installation labor.

The following is a list of the programmable options, with the factory settings in

Bold.

Active arming• (transmitter only) or passive arming (automatic arming 30

seconds after the last door has been closed).

Arming/disarming siren • chirps on or off.

The ignition controlled door lock feature on or • off: When this feature is

programmed on, the doors will lock three seconds after the ignition is

turned on, and unlock when the ignition is turned off. If your installer is pro-

gramming the security system with the Directed Bitwriter

, ignition lock and

unlock are independent features that can be programmed separately.

Passive door locking (with passive arming) or • active door locking (only

when arming with the transmitter). Passive locking allows the vehicle’s

doors to lock when the security system passively arms (after the 30-sec-

ond countdown). This feature only works if passive arming has been pro-

grammed.

Panic mode • enabled/disabled when the ignition is turned on. (Some states

have laws against sirens sounding in moving cars.)

Forced passive arming • on or off. If your security system is programmed

for passive arming and the forced passive arming feature has been pro-

grammed on, the system will passively arm after one hour, even if a pro-

tected entry has been left open. Forced passive arming ensures that the

system will be armed if a door has accidentally been left ajar when leav-

ing the vehicle.

When the system passively arms after one hour, the entry point that has

been left open, and anything connected to the same zone, is bypassed

and cannot trigger the system. However, the re main ing inputs to the system

are fully operational.
