Chevrolet 2006 Malibu, Owner'S Manual

Page: 93 / 438

The system will arm either:
•
Thirty seconds after all the doors and the
liftgate (MAXX) are closed or,
•
Sixty seconds with any door open
If you press the lock button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter a second time while all the doors and
liftgate are closed, the system will arm immediately.
The system will still arm in sixty seconds if a door
or liftgate is open. When the opened door or liftgate
is closed, it will also become armed.
The security light, located on the instrument panel
cluster, will turn on to indicate that arming has been
initiated. Once the system is armed, the security light
will flash once every three seconds.
If the security light is flashing twice per second, this
means that a door or the liftgate is open.
If you do not want to arm the system, you may lock
the car with the lock knob on the doors.
Disarming the System
You can disarm the system by doing any one of
the following:
•
Press the remote keyless entry transmitter unlock
button.
•
Turn the ignition on.
•
Turn the driver’s door key lock cylinder
counterclockwise.
Once the system is disarmed, the security light will
stop flashing.
How the System Alarm is Activated
If the system is armed, it can be activated by either:
•
Opening the driver’s door or liftgate (MAXX model).
This will cause a ten second pre-alarm chirp followed
by a thirty second full alarm of horn and lights.
•
Opening any other door. This will immediately cause
a full alarm of horn and lights for thirty seconds.
When an alarm event has finished, the system will
re-arm itself automatically.
