tem

4. Confirm that the SECURITY indicator light
comes on. The SECURITY light stays on for
about 30 seconds. The vehicle security sys-
tem is now pre-armed. After about 30 sec-
onds the vehicle security system automati-
cally shifts into the armed phase. The
SECURITY light begins to flash once every 3
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.
cIf the key is turned slowly when locking
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.

gers are in the vehicle, the system will
arm with all doors and the hood closed
