Pontiac 1998 Firebird User Manual

Arming the System
The alarm system can be
armed to detect break-ins
by locking your vehicle
using the remote keyless
entry transmitter or by
locking the
doors with the
power door lock switch.
Passive arming is
also available, if you would like the
system to arm all by itself after the doors have been
closed for a short time. When the system is armed,
a red
light will flash briefly once every two seconds. (Note:
If
you return to your vehicle and the red light is flashing
two brief flashes every two seconds, the 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 system is armed and there was an intrusion that
sounded the alarm.) Horn chirps and parking lamp
flashes can be set to your choice.
Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter Locking
If all the doors are closed, locking the vehicle with the
remote keyless entry transmitter will immediately
arm
the system. The horn will chirp twice and the parking
lamps will flash, confirming that the system is armed.
If
any door is open when the transmitter LOCK button is
pressed, the system goes into an armed wait mode,
waiting for the doors to close. Once they are closed, the
system will
arm, the horn chirps twice and the parking
lamps will flash. If the hatch is open or ajar at the time
the system is arming, the horn will only chup once.
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 the parking lamps will flash. If both
doors are closed when the lock switch
is pressed, the
system assumes you are inside the vehicle, so it will not
arm. Note: Locking the doors by using the manual door
locks will not
arm the system.
