equipped with an alarm, the alarm would be activated and would sound when one of the doors is opened. The doors
must not be locked using the remote transmitter while the vehicle is occupied. In case of an accident, this may hinder
rapid access to the occupants of the vehicle. The alarm will also sound on models equipped with this feature.
