Arming the System
With the ignition off, you can arm the system by
pressing the remote keyless entry transmitter lock
button.
The system will arm after either of these things occur:
• Thirty seconds after all the doors are closed.
• Sixty seconds with any door open.
If you press the lock button on the transmitter a second
time while all the doors are closed, the system will arm
immediately. The system will still arm in 60 seconds if a
door is open. When the open door is closed, it will also
become armed.
The security light, located on the instrument panel
cluster, will turn on to indicate that arming has been
initiated. Once the system is armed, the security light will
flash once every three seconds.
If the security light is flashing twice per second, this
means that a door is open.
If you do not want to arm the system, you may lock the
car with the manual lock knobs, or the power door
lock switch, if equipped, on the doors.
Disarming the System
You can disarm the system by doing any one of the
following:
• Press the remote keyless entry transmitter unlock
button.
• Turn the ignition on.
If the system is armed and the trunk is opened using the
trunk release button on the transmitter, the system will
temporarily disarm itself and re-arm when the trunk has
been closed. This allows you to exit the vehicle, lock the
doors using the transmitter, and open the trunk using the
transmitter without having to disarm and re-arm the
system.
Once the system is disarmed, the security light will stop
flashing.
How the System Alarm is Activated
If the system is armed, it can be activated by either:
• Opening the driver’s door or trunk. This will
cause a ten second pre-alarm chirp followed by
a thirty second full alarm of horn and lights.
• Opening any other door. This will immediately cause
a full alarm of horn and lights for thirty seconds.
When an alarm event has finished, the system will
re-arm itself automatically.
