hi everybody, i'm a very excited new xb owner. Just got my rs3 about a week ago, and i misplaced my alarm manual, if anyone have it, can they please let me know how to program the passive arming function... it will be greatly appreciated..thanks

 

Give this copy I made of the manual a try, OK? :D

Enjoy!


{EDIT}
Oops! Just had to fix the URL... NOW it should lead you to the PDF of the manual... Lemme know if it doesn't work again. I was cleaning up some stuff on the server and got carried away.

 

thanks alot..that was exactly that i was lookin for..i knew this forum would be helpful.

 

I have an RS3, but im lazy, what is passive arming??

 

*sigh*

If you are THAT lazy you NEED to turn the passive arming on...

Passive arming means after you turn the ignition off, remove the key, and open doors, if you forget to arm the alarm manually it will arm itself automatically after you close the last door.

You have a choice of delays - on mine I chose 30 seconds. That allows me to get out, close the driver's door, walk around to the back, and open the hatch (resetting the delay). When I'm finally through fooling around, and leave all the doors shut for at least thirty seconds, the alarm is armed and will go off if anyone opens a door, etc.

Sometimes I HAVE forgotten to lock up after unloading stuff. It's nice that the box at least tries to protect itself then.

(It's also amusing when the xB is in for an oil change or whatever... :D )

 

Ohhhh ok, so thats why i see my side turn signals blink when i walk away for a few seconds and come back.... Heh! Learn something new everyday!

 

Tomas i am having the same problem...i was wondering if you could post that link again because its not working right now...thank you very much

 

Whoops!!!

My error - I fixed the link in the original post up above and verified that it works again. Sorry!

 

does any one know if the rs 3 have a chirp sound with the alarm.... because i tryed to arm it and did everything that the manual said... the light goes on for thirty seconds and then it starts to blink... but when i stuck my arm inside nothing happened... any help?

 

If it is the standard Toyota VIP alarm for the xB, there is no 'chirp.'

The actual alarm from an intrusion is horn and lights and is delayed by 0, 15, or 30 seconds, depending on passive alarm settings, when triggered.

If manually armed, the response should be immediate.

See page 4 of the PDF linked to above...
