• A front or rear door is opened with-
out using the smart key.

warning lights will blink continuously
for approximately 30 seconds, and

Disarmed stage

The system will be disarmed when
• The doors (and liftgate) are
unlocked with the smart key.
After depressing the unlock button,
the hazard warning lights will blink
and the chime will sound twice (in
smart key) to indicate that the sys-
tem is disarmed.
After depressing the unlock button, if

the engine by directly pressing the
engine Start/Stop button with the
smart key.
