Arming the System To arm the system, do the following four steps in sequence. 1. 2. 3. Remove the key from the ignition. Open any door. The alarm indicator light will start flashing to remind you to arm the system. Lock the doors by using the power door lock switch, pressing the remote entry transmitter LOCK control or pressing the last two buttons (7/8, 9/0) of the keyless entry keypad. Close all doors. The alarm indicator light will then remain on steadily for approximately 30 more seconds and then go out. When the light goes out the system is armed. NOTE: Be sure to close all doors completely. If not, the alarm indicator light will remain on. Remember, your anti-theft system is armed only after the alarm indicator light remains on steadily for approximately 30 seconds after the last door is closed, and then goes out. You can also arm the anti-theft system with the factory installed remote entry system or the keyless entry system by following this sequence: 1. 2. 3. Remove the key from the ignition. Close all of the doors. Press the remote entry transmitter LOCK control or press the last two buttons (7/8, 9/0) of the keyless entry keypad to lock the doors. The alarm indicator will come on for 30 seconds to show the alarm is arming and then turn off to show that the alarm has armed. 4. 127
