5. Close the doors. The system will automatically arm after one minute.
  NOTE: In the passive mode, the system can also be armed with the remote transmitter or with the power door locking switches. If the remote transmitter or power door lock switch is used to lock the vehicle, arming will take place immediately regardless of whether or not the passive mode has been selected.
  
  CAUTION: In passive mode, the system will automatically activate the alarm but WILL NOT automatically lock the doors. In order to lock the doors, you must either lock them as indicated in step 4) above or with the key once they have been closed. Failure to lock the doors manually will result in a higher security risk.
Disarming the system
To disarm the system, briefly press the UNLOCK/DISARM button on keyless transmitter.
Tripped sensor identification
If an electronic chirp sounds four times and the turn signal lights blink four times when you disarm the system, this indicates that the alarm was triggered. The number of times the indicator light blinks indicates what sensor caused the alarm condition.
