mitter without triggering or disarming the system even
after the system has been armed. When it is closed, the
system will be rearmed.

The driver should not arm the system until first confirm-
ing that all passengers have left the vehicle. If the driver
arms the system with passenger(s) in the vehicle, the
alarm may be activated when the passenger(s) open the
