Keys, Doors, and Windows 45

transmitter during the 10-second
pre-alarm, the alarm will be
activated.
The alarm will also be activated if
the passenger door, the trunk, or the

alarm is activated, the turn signals
flash and the horn sounds for about
30 seconds. The alarm system will

The system has one or more
transmitters matched to an

vehicle. Only a correctly matched
transmitter will start the vehicle.
If the transmitter is ever damaged,
