ken.

and then reconnected.

stops and the indicator light starts flashing
again.

system automatically resets the alarm af-
ter the alarm has stopped.
The alarm will activate again under the
same circumstances described in “Activat-
ing the alarm”.

following ways:
Unlock any of the doors with the key
or remote keyless entry transmitter.
