Anti-carjacking Protection

The system is equipped with two separate Anti-Carjacking protection features
(ignition, open door, or both) that are selectable via user feature #12. Once activated,
the user has 60 seconds to cancel the Anti-Carjacking protection process (described

cancel the Anti-Carjacking process.
