Passive Arming If the ignition was just turned off and a door was opened, the system will arm six seconds after the doors, tailgate or panel doors are closed. If a door is opened without the ignition being turned on, the system will wait 30 seconds after the doors, tailgate or panel doors are closed before arming. This provides time to get into the vehicle and put the key in the ignition. The parking lamps will flash when the system arms. Passive arming is not enabled from the factory. If the LOCK button on the keyless entry transmitter or the power door lock switch is pressed, the system will arm immediately.

If the alarm is sounding due to the shock sensor or a door, tailgate or panel door opening, it can be turned off by either turning the ignition switch with a proper key inserted or by pressing any button on the keyless entry transmitter. If you use your keyless entry transmitter to silence the alarm, additional things will happen depending upon which button you press.
