Using the transmitter to arm the security system

1. Exit the vehicle and close all entrances.

2. Press and release the LOCK button on the transmitter. The security system will respond as follows: A. The horn/siren will chirp one time. B. The LED indicator will begin to flash at a steady rate. C. The parking lights will flash one time. D. All protected entrances are armed.

Security System Operation

Without Using the Transmitter

Note: The following information is valid only if your security system has been programmed to

automatically arm.

1. Turn off the ignition key and exit the vehicle.

2. Close all protected entrances. After the last protected entrance is closed the horn/siren will chirp one time and the LED indicator will begin to flash fast. The fast flashing LED indicates that the automatic arming timer is counting down and the security system will become armed within 30 seconds. After 30 seconds has passed, the security system will respond in the following manner:

A. The horn/siren will chirp one time. B. The LED indicator will begin to flash slower. C. The parking lights will flash one time. D. All protected entrances are armed.

Note 1: Re-opening a protected entrance before the system becomes armed will stop the arming timer. After closing the entrance the timer will begin counting again from zero.

Note 2: If the vehicle has a delayed interior lighting system, the automatic arming timer will start counting after the interior lighting has turned itself off. This could add up to 45 seconds to the total automatic arming countdown time. (Up to 75 seconds total arming delay)

The security system is now fully armed!
