Reactivating the alarm Once set, the system automatically resets the alarm each time all the doors, trunk and hood are closed after the alarm stops. The alarm will be activated again under the following conditions: S If any of the doors, trunk or hood is opened S If the battery terminal is disconnected and then reconnected Stopping the alarm Turn the ignition key from the "LOCK" to "ACC" position. The alarm will be stopped with the starter circuit kept on. Stopping the alarm in this manner will keep the alarm from being reactivated when any of the doors, trunk or hood is opened. Interrupting the setting With the system set, the trunk can be opened with the key or wireless remote control transmitter without setting off the system. While the truck is open, the setting is interrupted and the doors and hood may be opened in addition. However, when the battery terminal is reconnected, the system is activated. Close and lock the doors and hood, and the system will automatically be reset after two seconds when the trunk is closed with the key removed.
