Passive Arming
If the ignition was just turned off and a door was
opened,
the
system will arm six seconds after both
doors
are closed, whether or not you lock them. In all other
cases, the system will wait 30 seconds after both doors
are closed before arming, allowing you 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.
Disarming the System
There are
two ways to disarm
the
system:
Press
the
UNLOCK button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter. If the horn c h q s two or three
times when you unlock
the
car, the
alarm
sounded in
your absence. Two chirps means that the shock
sensor was set off and three c h q s means that a door
or hatch
was
opened.
0
Turn the ignition
to RUN
with the proper key.
For more information on customizing the features
mentioned here, see "Feature Customization" in
the Index.
'hrning Off the Alarm
If you started the alarm by pressing the panic button on the
r e m o t e keyless entry transmitter, you must either push that
button again or
turn
the ignition to RUN to stop the alarm.
If the alarm is sounding due to the shock sensor or a
door or hatch opening, it can be turned
off
by either
turning the ignition with a proper key inserted or by
pressing any button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter. If you use your remote keyless entry
transmitter
to
silence the alarm, additional things will
happen depending upon which button you press.

off, unlock the driver's door and d i s m the system.
Pressing the LOCK button will
turn
the alarm off,
keep the doors locked and keep the system armed.

alarm off. A second push of the button (within five
seconds) will unlock and disarm the hatch only.

Pressing the panic button will
turn
the alarm off,

If the alarm is sounding because
an
incorrect ignition
key was used, press any button on
the
remote keyless
entry transmitter to turn the alarm off.
The
alarm
will stop by itself after two minutes.
