Pre-Armed Phase And Armed Phase
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Infiniti QX56. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The vehicle security system turns into the pre-armed phase when ignition switch is in OFF position, all doors are closed and locked (using Intelligent Key, door request switch or auto relock function). The system automatically shifts into the armed phase.
