Theft Systems Description and Operation: Arming
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Suzuki Swift +, 2005 Pontiac Wave, and 2005 Chevrolet Aveo. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The vehicle is armed when the remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) receives a door LOCK command from the remote transmitter or when it determines that the doors have been locked with a key. The theft deterrent system also has an automatic locking feature. If the doors are unlocked with the remote transmitter while the theft deterrent system is armed, the doors will automatically relock after 30 seconds unless any of the following events occur:
- The door is opened.
- The ignition is turned ON.
- The rear compartment lid is opened.
- The hood is opened.
