NOTE (Models with immobiliz-
er)If your vehicle is equipped with an im-
mobilizer, the immobilizer’s function
will cause the security indicator light to
flash (approximately once every three
seconds) even after the system is dis-
armed.NOTEThe system can be disarmed by the fol-
lowing method, too.
yCycle the ignition switch from the
“LOCK” to the “ON” position three
times within 5 seconds.
T Emergency disarming
If you cannot disarm the system using the
transmitter (i.e. the transmitter is lost, bro-
ken or the transmitter battery is too weak),
you can disarm the system without using
the transmitter.
1. Unlock the door with the key and then
open the door.
2. Insert the key into the ignition switch
and cycle it from the “LOCK” to the “ON”
position three times within 5 seconds.„Valet modeWhen you choose the valet mode, the se-
curity system does not operate. In valet
mode, the remote transmitter is used only for locking and unlocking the doors and
rear gate and panic activation.
To enter the valet mode, change the set-
ting of your vehicle’s alarm system for de-
activation mode. (Refer to “Activating and
deactivating the alarm system” in this sec-
tion.) The security indicator light will con-
tinue to flash once every three seconds in-
dicating that the system is in the valet
mode (only vehicle with an immobilizer).
To exit valet mode, change the setting of
your vehicle’s alarm system for activation
mode. (Refer to “Activating and deactivat-
ing the alarm system” in this section.)
NOTEIf your vehicle is not equipped with an
immobilizer, the security indicator light
does not flash during the valet mode.„
Passive armingWhen passive arming mode has been
programmed by the dealer, arming of the
system is automatically accomplished
without using the remote transmitter. Note
that in this mode, DOORS MUST BE
MANUALLY LOCKED.
