point

at which all of the doors and the tailgate are
locked by pressing the LOCK switch on the remote

the point at which the system armed mode goes in-
to effect.
During this time, it is possible to temporarily open

without causing the alarm to sound (for example,
when you forget something inside the vehicle or re-
alize that a window is open). System armed mode
(The

If an unlawful opening of any of the doors, tailgate
or bonnet is detected during the system armed
mode, the alarm will be activated to warn people
around the vehicle of an abnormal condition.
Also, if unlawful moving of the vehicle is attemp-
ted or a vehicle intrusion is detected, the alarm will
be activated.
Alarm activation
