is armed while a passenger(s) remains
in the vehicle, the alarm may be activa‐

or engine hood is opened within 30 sec‐
onds after the system enters the
armed stage, the system will be dis‐
armed to prevent unnecessary alarm.

following occurs while the system is
armed.
• A front or rear door is opened with‐
out using the smart key.
• The trunk is opened without using
the smart key.

The horn will sound and the hazard
warning lights will blink continuously
for approximately 27 seconds. Then, an
alarm will sound two times with 10
seconds interval. If the alarm situation
does not change after the alarm has
sounded, it will go off again. To turn off
the system, unlock the doors with the
smart key.
