will ignore that condition and monitor the
remaining doors and ignition.

occurs, disarm the vehicle security alarm. If the vehicle security alarm is armed and the
battery becomes disconnected, the vehicle
security alarm will remain armed when the
battery is reconnected; the exterior lights will
flash, and the horn will sound. If this occurs,
