feature descriptions
The features of the system are described in this section. If the system is being programmed with a DEI
®
Bitwriter
™
(P/N 998T) or a Personal Computer Interface (P/N 996T) the options available may change. Extra programming
options that are available when programming with the Bitwriter or a PC are indicated by the following icon:
(These options are not available when programming manually with the Valet switch.)
1-1 ACTIVE/PASSIVE ARMING: When active arming is selected, the system will only arm when the transmitter
is used. When set to passive, the system will arm automatically 30 seconds after the last door is closed. To alert
the consumer of passive arming, the siren will chirp 20 seconds after the door is closed. This provides the con-
sumer with an audible warning prior to the system actually arming. At the 30 second mark, the system will arm
but the siren will not chirp.
1-2 CHIRPS ON/OFF: This feature controls the siren chirps that confirm the arming and disarming of the system.
1-3 IGNITION CONTROLLED LOCKING ON/OFF: When turned on, the doors will lock automatically three seconds
after the ignition is turned on. In order for this feature to work, the vehicle door must not be open when the
key is turned on.
1-4 IGNITION CONTROLLED UNLOCKING ON/OFF: When turned on, the doors will unlock automatically when the
ignition is turned off.
1-5 ACTIVE/PASSIVE LOCKING: If passive arming is selected in Feature 1-1, then the system can be programmed
to either lock the doors when passive arming occurs, or only lock the doors when the system is armed via the
transmitter. Active locking means the system will not lock the doors when it passively arms. Passive locking
means that the system will lock the doors when it passively arms.
NOTE: Remember, when passive arming is selected, the unit will chirp 20 seconds after the last door
is closed. The system does not actually arm or lock the doors until 30 seconds after the door has
been closed.
1-6 PANIC ON/OFF: In the on setting, Panic Mode can be activated by pressing the Panic button on the remote.
In the off setting, the Panic Mode is disabled.
1-7 DOOR LOCK PULSE DURATION: Some European vehicles, such as Mercedes-Benz and Audi, require longer lock
and unlock pulses to operate the vacuum pump. Programming this feature with the two-chirp setting will provide
3.5 second pulses and will accommodate the door lock interface in these vehicles. The default setting is 0.8
second door lock pulses.
