cally shifts into the armed phase. The

seconds. If, during the 30-second pre-arm
time period, the door is unlocked by the key
or the keyfob, or the ignition key is turned to
ACC or ON, the system will not arm.

the door, the system may not arm. Fur-
thermore, if the key is turned exces-
sively to the unlock position, the sys-
tem may be disarmed when the key is
removed. If the indicator light fails to
glow for 30 seconds, unlock the door
once and lock it again.

system off.
