This system is designed to provide
protection from unauthorized entry
into the car. This system is operated
in three stages: the first is the
"Armed" stage, the second is the
"Alarm" stage, and the third is the
"Disarmed" stage. If triggered, the
system provides an audible alarm
with blinking of the hazard warning
lights.

1. Remove the ignition key from the

ter of the keyless entry system.

once to indicate that the system is
armed.

tem will not be armed.
