Arming the System
The alarm system can be armed to detect break-ins by
locking your vehicle with 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 located on top of the instrument panel will flash
briefly once every two seconds. 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. See “Feature Customization” in
the Index.
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 will chirp 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
chirp 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. Locking the doors by using the manual door locks
will not arm the system.
