Arming the system
[FV03340(MBC )05/95]
To arm the system, do the following steps in
sequence:
*
[FV03350(MBC )05/95]
1. Remove the key from the ignition.
[FV03355(MBC )05/95]
At this point, the anti-theft system automatically
monitors the ignition keylock cylinder. If the
lock cylinder is forcibly removed, the anti-theft
alarm system will trigger. To arm the remaining
portion of the system, follow steps 2-4.
*
[FV03360(MBC )05/95]
2. Open any door. The alarm indicator light
will start flashing to remind you to arm the
system.
[FV03370(MBC )05/95]
3. Lock the doors by using the power door
lock switch or by pressing the remote entry
transmitter LOCK button.
[FV03380(MBC )05/95]
The alarm indicator will now glow steadily.
[FV03390(MBC )05/95]

will then remain on steadily for
approximately 30 seconds and then go out.
When the light goes out, the system is
armed.
[FV03400(MBC )05/95]
NOTE: Be sure to close all doors completely. If
not, the alarm indicator light will
remain on. Remember, your anti-theft
system is armed only after the alarm
indicator light remains on steadily for
approximately 30 seconds after the last
door is closed, and then goes out.
