Security Alarm Status [B/A Status]
B/A Status Description
DISARM
  1. In the "DISARM" state, the vehicle start prohibition is not active. Therefore, when a door, hood, or tailgate is open, the horn does not sound and the indicator does not flash.
  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 "ARMWAIT" and the "30 sec" timer is restarted.
  3. In the "ARMWAIT" state, the security indicator remains on.

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

  3. When the "Unlock command" is executed in the "All doors closed" state and the hood is 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.
