n Arming the system
CAUTION
In passive mode, the system will automatically activate the alarm
but WILL NOT automatically lock the doors. In order to lock the
doors you must either lock them as indicated in step 4 below or
with the key once they have been closed. Failure to lock the
doors manually will result in a higher security risk.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
2. Turn the ignition switch from "ON" to "LOCK" position and remove
the key from the ignition switch.
3. Open the doors and get out of the vehicle.
4. Before closing the doors, lock all doors with the inside door lock
levers.
5. Close the doors. The system will automatically arm after one min-
ute.
In the passive mode, the system can also be armed with the remote
transmitter or with the power door locking switches. If the remote
transmitter or power door lock switch is used to lock the vehicle, arm-
ing will take place immediately regardless of whether or not the pas-
sive mode has been selected.
