Disarmed Phase
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Nissan Armada. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When the vehicle is being driven or when doors are open, the theft warning system is set in the disarmed phase on the assumption that the owner is inside or near the vehicle.
Pre-Armed Phase And Armed Phase
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.
