Arming System

When system is armed, it will help protect your vehicle from unauthorized entry. When unauthorized entry occurs, the system will flash headlamps and/or parking lamps, and will chirp the horn. The system is ready to arm whenever the key is removed from the ignition. Any of the following actions will pre-arm the alarm system:

There is a 20 seconds countdown when any of the above actions occur before the vehicle becomes ARMED. Each door/hood or liftgate (wagon) arm individually, and if any door/hood or liftgate (wagon) is open, then it must be closed for it to be armed.

When the lock button control is pressed 2 times within three seconds on remote entry transmitter, the horn will chirp once to let you know that all doors/hood and liftgate (wagon) are closed. If the door/hood or liftgate (wagon) are not closed and you the remote entry transmitter is pressed 2 times to confirm the door are locked, the horn will chirp 2 times to warn that a door/hood or liftgate (wagon) is still open.
