open. This feature is useful if a door has been left ajar when
leaving the vehicle. Forced passive arming ensures that the
security system will be armed in every situation.
NOTE: 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 remaining inputs
to the system are fully operational.
■ Automatic Engine Disable (AED) on or off: The purpose of the
feature is to protect the vehicle from being stolen at all
times, regardless of whether or not the alarm is armed. If AED
is programmed on, the starter of the vehicle will be disabled
30 seconds after the ignition is turned off. Once the key is
turned off, the LED will flash slowly (one-half its normal
armed rate) to indicate the AED arming cycle. Thirty seconds
later, the starter of the vehicle will be disabled. To start the
car, it will be necessary to arm the car with the remote and
then disarm it with the remote. It is also possible to disarm
the AED feature by turning the ignition key to the "run" posi-
tion and pressing the Valet
®
switch the programmed number
of times. AED is disabled when the system is in Valet
®
Mode.
NOTE: This feature will only function if the Failsafe
®
Starter Kill relay has
been installed.
■ Full trigger response 30 or 60 seconds: This determines how
long the full triggered sequence lasts. Some states have laws
regulating how long a security system can sound before it is
considered a nuisance. If your installer is programming the
security system with the DEI Bitwriter or a personal computer
and the TechSoft Programmer, the full triggered response can
be programmed for any duration ranging from 1 to 180 seconds.
