Arming The Perimeter Alarm: Notes

The perimeter alarm is ready to arm any time the ignition is off. The perimeter alarm pre-arms when any of the following actions are performed:

• Pressing the lock button on a RKE  transmitter
• Pressing the door lock control switch to the lock position with a front door open, and then closing the door
• Touching the 7/8 and 9/0 buttons simultaneously on the keyless entry keypad (if equipped)
• Locking the vehicle with the passive entry feature (if equipped)

Once the system is pre-armed, there is a 20-second countdown before the perimeter alarm is armed. Each entry point to the vehicle (hood, door and luggage compartment lid) is armed separately and must be closed before that entry point begins the 20-second countdown to become armed. If all entry points are closed, the turn signals flash upon locking indicating that all entry points are entering the 20-second countdown.
