systemWhen the vehicle is locked or unlocked
with the key or the remote control, the
alarm system is also simultaneously

>The indicator lamp flashes during
arming: door(s), the hood or luggage
compartment lid/tailgate are not

secure the indicated area, the system
begins to monitor the remaining
areas, and the indicator lamp flashes
continuously after 10 seconds. How-
ever, the interior motion sensor is not
activated

the system is disarmed: no manipula-
tion or attempted intrusions have
been detected in the period since the
