If the vehicle is unlocked using the remote key
(and the alarm is disarmed) but none of the
doors or tailgate are opened within two minutes,
the alarm will be automatically rearmed. The vehi-
cle will also re-lock.
On some markets, the alarm will be automatically
armed following a slight delay after the driver's
door has been opened and closed without being
locked.
