This system is designed to provide
protection from unauthorized entry
into the car. This system is operated
in three stages: the first is the
"Armed" stage, the second is the
"Alarm" stage, and the third is the
"Disarmed" stage. If triggered, the
system provides an audible alarm
with blinking of the hazard warning
lights.

ter of the keyless entry system.

the hazard warning lights will blink
once to indicate that the system is
armed.

engine hood remains open, the sys-
tem will not be armed.
