Setting the vehicle security system

Initial condition 

• Ignition switch is OFF.

Disarmed phase 

• When the vehicle is being driven or when doors are open, the vehicle security 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 

• There are three conditions to enable the vehicle security system to turn into the "pre-armed" phase and transition into armed phase. The initial requirements are that hood, glass hatch and all doors must be closed (ignition key removed) for the transition to take place. Those three conditions are:
  1. Locking vehicle with either front power door lock switch before exiting vehicle and closing all doors.
  2. Using keyfob to lock already closed doors after leaving the vehicle.
  3. Using driver key cylinder switch to lock already closed doors after leaving the vehicle.
• Upon any of the above three steps taking place, the security indicator lamp illuminates for 30 seconds, then the system automatically shifts into the "armed" phase.

Canceling the set vehicle security system

When one of the following operations is performed, the armed phase is canceled.

1. Unlock the front doors with the key or the keyfob.
2. If equipped, open the back door with the keyfob. When the back door is closed after opening the back door with the keyfob, the system returns to the armed phase.
3. If equipped, open the sliding door(s) with the keyfob. With the sliding door(s) closed after opening the sliding door(s) with the keyfob, the system returns to the armed phase.

Activating the alarm operation of the vehicle security system

Make sure the system is in the armed phase.

When one of the following operations is performed, the system sounds the horns and flashes the headlamps for about 50 seconds.

1. Any door is opened before unlocking door with key or keyfob.
2. Door is opened without using key or keyfob.
3. Back door is opened without using keyfob (with automatic back door system).
4. Sliding door(s) opened without using keyfob (with automatic sliding door system).
