installed with remote door locks, you can lock or unlock your doors at the same time.

.
When leaving your vehicle, perform the following:
1. Turn the Key switch OFF. The LED remains OFF.
2. Unlock if required and open the doors.
3. Once all doors are closed after exiting the vehicle, the LED will begin to flash quickly, indicating that
passive arming has begun.
Also, as long as a door is opened or if a door is opened and remains open before the completion of the
arming delay
the system will not arm
.
(The 35 seconds countdown starts when all doors are closed)
If you want to stay in the vehicle for a certain period of time, it is recommended to have your key switch in
the ON position to avoid a situation were the system arms after somebody leaves the vehicle. While your
key is in the

(LED flashing
slowly)
and if your system has a starter kill, you will not be able to start the car. If this situation occurs,
you need to disarm the car with the unlock button
.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If your car is not equipped with a starter kill, You should not start the vehicle

alarm condition.
