Security Alarm Status [B/A Status]
B/A Status Description
DISARM
  1. In the "DISARM" state, there is no vehicle start prohibition. Therefore, when the door, hood or tailgate is opened, the buzzer does not sound and the indicator flashes.
  2. If the battery is disconnected when the state is not "ARM/ARMWAIT/ALARM/REARM", the B/A state is set to the "DISARM" state.
  3. In the "DISARM" state, the security indicator continues to flash.
PREPARATION
  1. In the "ARMWAIT" state, when the "30 sec." timer is running, if the timer reaches "30 seconds", the state changes to the "ARM" state.
  2. If the battery is disconnected in the "ARMWAIT" state, the B/A state is set to the "ARMWAIT" state and the "30 sec" timer is restarted.
  3. In the "ARMWAIT" state, the security indicator remains lit.

※ Note: In the Smart Key system, this operates in the same way as with passive locking.
B/A Status Description
AUTO LOCK TIMER 1
  1. In the "AUTOLOCKTIMER1" state, the "30 sec." timer runs. If this timer expires, the automatic lock command "Lock Command" is generated.
  2. When the "Lock Command" is triggered, all doors are locked and closed, and the B/A state changes from "AUTOLOCKTIMER1" to "ARMWAIT".
  3. In the "AUTOLOCKTIMER1" state, the security indicator continues to flash. In the "AUTOLOCKTIMER1" state, the "30 sec." timer runs. If this timer expires, the automatic lock command "Lock Command" is generated. When the "Lock Command" is triggered, all doors are locked and closed, then the B/A state changes from "AUTOLOCKTIMER1" to "ARMWAIT".

※ Note: In the Smart Key system, this operates in the same way as passive unlocking.
B/A Status Description
AUTO LOCK TIMER 2
  1. In the "AUTOLOCKTIMER2" state, while the "30 sec" timer is running, if this timer expires, the automatic lock command "Lock Command" is generated.
  2. When all doors are locked, the hood is closed and the trunk lid is closed and the "Lock Command" is executed, the B/A state changes to "AUTOLOCKTIMER2". When the "Lock Command" is generated with the hood open.
  3. When the "Unlock Command" is triggered with all doors closed and the hood open, the B/A state changes to "AUTOLOCKTIMER2".
  4. In the "AUTOLOCKTIMER2" state, the security indicator continues to flash.

※ Note: In the Smart Key system, this operates in the same way as passive unlocking.
B/A Status Description
PREARM
  1. The "PREARM" state is when the user attempts to arm the system, but the precondition is not met (door open, tailgate open, or hood open).
  2. The B/A state changes to "PREARM" when a TX Lock command is received with any door, hood or tailgate open.
  3. The B/A state changes to "PREARM" when the "30 sec." timer expires in "AUTOLOCKTIMER2" with the hood or tailgate open.
  4. The "PREARM" state changes to "ARM" when all doors are closed and locked, and the hood and tailgate are closed.
  5. The "PREARM" state changes to "DISARM" when any door is unlocked.
  6. In this state, the security indicator continues to flash.

B/A Status Description
RE ARM
  1. In the "REARM" state, if vehicle intrusion is detected, the indicator flashes and the buzzer restarts again, and the state changes to the "ALARM" state.
  2. The B/A state changes to "REARM" after the "27 sec." timer expires in the "ALARM" state, when all doors are closed and locked.
  3. The security indicator continues to flash.

B/A Status Description
AUTO LOCK TIMER 3
  1. The B/A state changes to "AUTOLOCKTIMER3" when the TX-Tailgate command is triggered.
  2. The B/A state changes from "AUTOLOCKTIMER3" to "ARMWAIT" when the "30 sec." timer expires, with all doors locked and closed.
  3. The B/A state changes from "AUTOLOCKTIMER3" to "DISARM" when any door is opened.
  4. In the "AUTOLOCKTIMER3" state, the "30 sec." timer runs. If this timer expires with the tailgate open, the state changes to the "PREARM" state.
  5. In this state, the security indicator continues to flash.

B/A Status Description
ARM HOLD
(Alarm Hold: Trunk)
※ Variant without PTL
  1. The ARM HOLD mode is similar to the trunk alarm hold mode for modern vehicles.
  2. If the trunk is opened with the remote transmitter (including the smart key) while in ARM mode, the trunk hold mode is turned on, in which the alarm is held for the trunk.
  3. While the trunk is open, ARM HOLD mode continues.
  4. When the trunk is closed, a 30-second timer is activated. Since ARM HOLD mode is on for 30 seconds, the theft alarm does not trigger even though the trunk is open.
  5. ARM mode is activated 30 seconds after the main line is closed.
  6. Even in ARM mode, the door and hood are in ARM mode. Normally they sound the alarm when theft occurs.
  7. The security indicator continues to flash during ARM HOLD time.

Note 1: ARM HOLD is a function that holds the ARM mode on the link line. It keeps the ARMED mode on the door and hood. Note 2: When the ignition key is used to open the trunk, the ARM HOLD function operates in the same way, provided that the "Key Door Alarm" function is enabled. If it is disabled, ARM HOLD based on the key is disabled and using the key to open the trunk is determined as theft and the alarm is released.
B/A Status Description
RE ARM
(ARM mode re-enabled)
  1. If the door, hood and trunk are all closed after ALARM mode ends, this means ARM mode is turned on again.
  2. During this time, the door lock/unlock actuator status is ignored and ARM mode is maintained until a remote control signal is received (normal ARM mode).
  3. In this mode, the security indicator continues to flash.
RESET
  1. When the battery is disconnected in ALARM or RE ARM mode, RESET mode is turned on.
  2. When the battery is connected after RESET, theft alarm operation resumes (instead of the remaining output, 27 seconds ON / 10 seconds OFF is output three times).

B/A Status Description
KEY ON 30-second deactivation
(non-smart key version)
  1. For non-smart vehicles, the 30-second standby with the ignition on, when activated in ALARM mode, deactivates the theft alarm status.
  2. Even before 30 seconds elapse, if the engine starts (generator "L" terminal voltage is high: sent from the cluster module to CAN data), the alarm is deactivated immediately. Immobilizer control starts: the default immobilizer system applies, and engine start with a registered immobilizer key is allowed, even during alarm.) ※ In a vehicle with smart key, the alarm is deactivated immediately after smart key authentication.
When ARM mode is on, opening the trunk and central door unlocking are not allowed.
  1. From the moment the remote transmitter or smart key locks all doors and the ARM WAIT indicator lights, the central door unlock switch, the interior trunk unlock switch, and the DDM and ADM (driver's and passenger's power window switches) are disabled. (Theft prevention) ※ This function works the same way in ARM WAIT, ARM, ALARM, and RE ARM modes.
