Arming Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2000 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When any door or hatch is open, SECURITY indicator light will flash as a reminder to arm system. Light will turn off if there is no change after 10 minutes. To arm system, turn ignition off. With a door open, lock doors with power lock switch or Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. If passive switch is on, walking out of range with remote transmitter will also activate system. SECURITY indicator light will stay on. Light will turn off if there is no change after 10 minutes. Locking doors manually will not arm system. When doors and hatch are closed, system is in doors and hatch armed mode. If both doors are closed, but hatch is open, system is in DOORS ARMED mode. System will monitor doors only for intrusion. If hatch is closed, alarm will not be activated. If unauthorized entry is detected, system goes into ALARM mode. Alarm mode sounds horns and/or flashes lights, depending on personalized options. Alarm continues for 2 minutes (30 seconds on export models). Ignition and fuel system are also disabled. This is followed by a 3-minute period when horn is not sounded. System then returns to ARMED mode, unless a disarm input is received.
