open a door during the arming period, the Vehicle Security Alarm will cancel the arming
process. If you wish to rearm the Vehicle Security Alarm after closing the door, you must
repeat one of the previously-described arming sequences.
You may also disarm the ultrasonic intrusion sensor during the 16 second arming period by
pressing the lock button three times with a delay of no more than five seconds between key
presses. The horn will pulse twice to acknowledge that the ultrasonic intrusion sensor has
been disabled.

• The Vehicle Security Alarm remains armed during trunk entry. Pressing the TRUNK button will not disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm. If someone enters the vehicle through
the trunk, and opens any door, the alarm will sound.

conditions where the Vehicle Security Alarm will give you a false alarm. If one of the
previously-described arming sequences has occurred, the Vehicle Security Alarm will arm
regardless of whether you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in the vehicle and open a
door, the alarm will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed and the battery becomes disconnected the Vehicle

flash, and the horn will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
