Pontiac 2004 Vibe - Manual (Page 79)

How the System Alarm is Activated
The system will activate the alarm under the following
conditions:
• If the driver’s or front passenger’s door is unlocked
or if any of the other side doors or the liftgate is
forcibly opened without the key or remote keyless
entry transmitter.
• If the battery terminal is disconnected and then
reconnected.
• If the ignition is hot-wired.
• If the side window glass is broken or damaged.
The indicator light will come on when the system
is activated.
If the driver’s or front passenger’s side doors are
unlocked without using the key or remote keyless entry
transmitter, the other side doors and the liftgate will
be automatically locked again.
After one minute the alarm will automatically stop and
the indicator light will start flashing again.
Reactivating the System
Once the system is set, it will automatically reset the
alarm after the alarm stops. The alarm will activate again
under the same conditions as described earlier.
Disarming the System
The alarm can be disarmed by doing one of the
following:
• Turn the ignition key from LOCK to ON.
• Unlock any of the side doors with the key or with
the remote keyless entry transmitter.
If the liftgate or liftglass is opened with the key, the
system will still be activated.
