Disarming an Armed System/Silencing an Alarm

If system arming has been requested by the power door lock switch or the transmitter, it must be disarmed.

IMPORTANT: Using the power door unlock switch or manually unlocking the doors does not disable the CTD arm mode. Also, disconnecting the battery or pulling fuses does not disable the arm mode, since the Rear Integration Module (RIM) stores the CTD mode status in memory.

^ To disarm the CTD system in standby mode, SECURITY indicator on or flashing and door(s) open:
- Press either power door unlock switch.
- Use the key to unlock the driver front door.
- Press the UNLOCK button on the keyless entry transmitter.
- Insert a valid Passkey III key into the ignition and switch to ON position.
^ To disarm the CTD system in the armed mode:
