Arming the System

The normal arming procedure when locking the vehicle is:
1. Close all windows and place shift lever in "PARK" (automatic only).
2. Turn ignition switch to the "LOCK" position and remove ignition key.
3. Open any door.
4. Lock doors with power door lock switch or remote transmitter.
5. Close doors.

This will arm the system to sound if door switches, the rear compartment lid release switch, or the shock sensor is activated or "tripped." The system will also sound if the wrong key resistance (PASS-Key II) is detected. The armed system will flash the red lamp briefly every 2 seconds. The system can also be armed with the windows open. The system will be disarmed only when the unlock button on the remote transmitter is pushed or the ignition key is turned 'ON."

When any door is opened during the arming procedure, the system goes into an armed wait mode. Once the doors are closed, if the remote transmitter was used to arm the system, it will arm, chirp the horns twice and flash the parking lamps. If the door switch was used to arm the system, only the parking lamps will flash. If the rear compartment lift window panel is open or ajar during arming procedure, the horn will only chirp once.

Important
^ Locking the doors with the lock control side knob will not arm the system.
