The driver’s door will unlock, an electronic chirp will sound twice, the turn signal lights will flash twice.

NOTE
After disarming the alarm system, briefly press the “
button a second” button a second time within 5 seconds to unlock all other doors and the rear gate.

- Turn the ignition switch from the “LOCK” to the “ON” position with a registered key.
