vent will flash, and the vehicle will not start. If the alarm
is triggered and no action is taken to disarm it, the system
will turn off the horn after three minutes and after 15
minutes of light only operation the system will then
rearm itself.To arm the system:Remove the key from the ignition
switch and either:

passenger’s door is open.
2. Press the LOCK button on the keyless entry transmit-
ter.
After the last door is closed, or if all doors are closed, the
system will arm itself in about 16 seconds. During that
time, the Vehicle Theft Alarm/Immobilizer light will
flash. If it does not illuminate, the system is not arming.
If you open a door during this arming period, the system
will cancel the arming process. You must repeat one of
the previously described arming sequences to rearm the
system.
