Pre-Armed Phase And Armed Phase
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Nissan Frontier. 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 keyfob, door lock/unlock switch, driver key cylinder or auto relock function). The system automatically shifts into the armed phase.
