Once armed, should any door, hood or the trunk be
opened without using the RKE, then:
• The starter relay is disabled, inhibiting starting.
• An audible alarm horn is activated for three cycles;
each cycle is ON 27 seconds and OFF for 10
seconds. The hazard warning lamps flash during
this period.
After the three cycles, the system maintains the start
inhibit state, where no audible and visual warnings are
issued but engine cranking is not possible.
The alarm can be cancelled by depressing the unlock
button on the key lock transmitter. Placing the key in
the ignition and turning it to ON and leaving it there
for approximately 30 seconds can also disarm the
alarm. After that time, the alarm is cancelled, and the
system enters the disarm state.

following states:
• Alarmed
• After alarming system
Upon restoring the battery, the alarm state shall be

3. Replace the transmitter battery with a new one if
voltage is below 3V. Then try to lock and unlock
the doors with the transmitter by pressing the lock
or unlock button five or six times.
