Arming the UTD System

When one door, both doors or the hatch is opened, the SECURITY indicator on the instrument panel flashes as a reminder to arm the system. If after 10 minutes the door or hatch has not been closed, the flashing SECURITY indicator will turn OFF.

To arm the UTD system perform the following steps:

1. Turn OFF the ignition switch.
2. With the driver or passenger door open, press one of the power door lock switches. OR
3. Press the LOCK button on the remote transmitter or walk out of range with the passive switch ON.

This puts the UTD system in the active mode, where it has detected that the arming request has been made, but the vehicle is not yet secured (i.e. both doors are not shut). This state is indicated by the SECURITY indicator changing from flashing to ON continuously. If the vehicle is not secured after 10 minutes, the SECURITY indicator is turned OFF. It is important to note that the system will not be armed if the doors are locked manually; the power door lock switch or remote control transmitter (RFA) system must be used.

When the power lock switch or remote transmitter has been activated and both doors and the hatch are closed, the UTD is in the Doors and Hatch Armed State. In this mode, the UTD is monitoring for an illegal intrusion into the vehicle through the doors or hatch. This is the most common armed state of the UTD, as it represents the usual state of a driver leaving the vehicle with the security system set.

When the power lock switch has been activated and both doors are closed, but the hatch is open, the UTD is in the Doors Armed State. In this state, the UTD is monitoring for an illegal intrusion into the vehicle through the doors. If the hatch is closed, the change in state of the hatch ajar switch will not be considered an intrusion, and the alarm will not be activated. If the hatch is not closed, the UTD system will remain in the doors armed mode and will ignore the hatch ajar switch input and the SECURITY indicator will go out.
