Once armed, the alarm will go off if someone tries to enter the vehicle (without using the remote keyless entry transmitter or a key) or turns the ignition to ON. The horn will sound and the parking lamps will flash for up to two minutes. When the alarm is armed, the liftgate may be opened with the remote keyless entry transmitter or with a key.
