Arming the CTD System
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Buick LaCrosse and 2006 Buick Allure. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Use the following procedure in order to arm the system:
- Place the shift lever in P (park).
- Turn OFF the ignition.
- Open any door.
- Lock the doors with the power door lock switch or the LOCK button on the transmitter. The system is in standby mode and will not start the arming timer until all doors are closed. At this point, the theft LED will begin flashing quickly.
- The system will begin the arm sequence immediately after the last door is closed. If the keyless entry transmitter is used the arm the system after the vehicle doors are closed, the arm sequence will begin as soon as the LOCK command is received by the transmitter. The theft LED will flash quickly for approximately 15 seconds, indicating that system arm is pending. The system is armed when the theft LED transitions to flashing slowly.
IMPORTANT:
The system is not armed if the doors are locked manually; the power door lock switch or remote keyless entry transmitter must be used to arm the content theft deterrent (CTD) system.
