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 the 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.
