ues to blink with indicator's reduced lit-up duration
time.)
Once the system preparation mode has ended, the

tem armed mode, the alarm will be activated to
warn people around the vehicle of an abnormal con-
dition.
Also, for vehicles equipped with the interior alarm
sensor, if unlawful moving of the vehicle is attemp-
ted or a vehicle intrusion is detected, the alarm will
be activated.
