The system will arm after either of these things occur:
•
Thirty seconds after all the doors are closed.
•
Sixty seconds with any door open.
If you press the lock button on the transmitter a second
time while all the doors are closed, the system will
arm immediately. The system will still arm in 60 seconds
if a door is open. When the open door is closed, it will
also become armed.
The security light will turn on to indicate that arming has
been initiated. Once the system is armed, the security
light will flash once every three seconds.
If the security light is flashing twice per second, this
means that a door is open.
If you do not want to arm the system, you may lock the
car with the manual lock knobs on the doors.

You can disarm the system by doing any one of the
following:
•
Press the remote keyless entry transmitter

Once the system is disarmed, the security light will
stop flashing.

Opening the driver's door or tailgate. This will
