Dodge 2004 Ram Pickup 1500 - Manual (Page 30)

To Disarm the System:
Use the Keyless Entry transmitter or the key to turn the
driver’s door lock to the unlock position. If something
has triggered the system in your absence, the horn will
sound three times when you unlock the doors and the
security lamp will flash for 30 seconds. Check the vehicle
for tampering.
The Security system will also disarm, if the vehicle is
started with a programmed Sentry Key. If an unpro-
grammed Sentry Key is used to start a vehicle, the engine
will run for 2 seconds and then the security alarm will be
initiated. To exit alarming mode, press the transmitter
Unlock button, unlock the driver’s door using the key
cylinder, or start the vehicle with a programmed Sentry
Key.
The Security Alarm System is designed to protect your
vehicle; however, you can create conditions where the
system will arm unexpectedly. If you remain in the
vehicle and lock the doors with the transmitter, the alarm
will sound when you pull the door handle to exit. You
may also accidentally disarm the system by unlocking
the driver’s door with the door key and then locking it
manually with the lock plunger. The door will be locked
but the Security Alarm will not arm.
