illuminate, the Vehicle Security Alarm is not arming. In
addition, if you open a door during the arming period,
the Vehicle Security Alarm will cancel the arming pro-
cess. If you wish to rearm the Vehicle Security Alarm after
closing the door, you must repeat one of the previously-
described arming sequences.
