Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter Locking
If all the doors are closed, locking the vehicle with the
transmitter will immediately arm the system. If any door
is open when the transmitter LOCK button is pressed,
the system goes into an armed wait mode, waiting for
the doors to close. Once they are closed, the system will
arm and the headlamps and parking lamps will flash. If
the tailgate or panel doors are open or ajar at the time
the system is arming, the headlamps and parking lamps
flash once.
Power Door Lock Switch Locking
If any door is open when the power door lock switch is
pressed, the system goes into an armed wait mode,
waiting for the doors, tailgate or panel doors to close.
Once they are closed, the system will arm and the
parking lamps will flash. If a door is closed when the
power lock switch is pressed, the system assumes you
are inside the vehicle, so it will not arm. Locking the
doors by using the manual door locks will not arm
the system.
Passive Arming
If the ignition was just turned off and a door was
opened, the system will arm six seconds after the doors,
tailgate or panel doors are closed. If a door is opened
without the ignition being turned on, the system will
wait 30 seconds after the doors, tailgate or panel doors
are closed before arming. This provides time to get into
the vehicle and put the key in the ignition. The parking
lamps will flash when the system arms. Passive arming
is not enabled from the factory.
If the LOCK button on the keyless entry transmitter or
the power door lock switch is pressed, the system will
arm immediately.

Disarming the System

There are two ways to disarm the system:
1. Press the UNLOCK button on the keyless entry
transmitter. If the horn chirps two or three times
when you unlock the vehicle, the alarm sounded in
your absence. Two chirps means that the shock
sensor was set off and three chirps means that a door,
tailgate or the panel doors were opened.
2. Turn the ignition to RUN with the proper key.
