Buick 2008 Automobile User Manual


 
When the doors are locked using the power door lock
switch of either front door, the red light, if your vehicle has
one, will start flashing at a fast rate, indicating that the
system is arming. After all the doors are locked there will
be a time delay and then the red light, if your vehicle has
one, will begin to flash at a very slow rate, indicating the
system is armed.
Arming with the RKE Transmitter
The alarm system will arm when the RKE transmitter is
used to lock the doors after the key is removed from
the ignition. The red light, if your vehicle has one,
will come on to indicate that the system is arming. After
all doors are closed and locked, and after a time
delay, the red light, if your vehicle has one, will begin
flashing at a very slow rate to show the system is armed.
Arming Confirmation
Your vehicle may have a red light located on top of the
instrument panel, towards the center of the vehicle
and near the windshield, that will flash slowly to confirm
when the system is armed.
Disarming with the RKE Transmitter
The alarm system will disarm when the RKE transmitter
is used to unlock the doors. The red light, if your
vehicle has one, will go out to show that the system is
disarmed.
Disarming with Your Key
The alarm system will disarm when the key is used
to unlock the doors. The red light, if your vehicle has
one, will stop flashing when the system is disarmed.
If you would like the key to disarm the alarm system,
see “CONTENT THEFT” under DIC Vehicle
Personalization on page 3-76 for more information.
