   At this time, the theft-alarm indicator (A) in the instrument cluster flashes for confirmation.
4. The system has entered the armed stage after approximately 20 seconds, when the theft-alarm indicator (A) flashing becomes slower.The theft-alarm indicator (A) continues to flash while the system is in the armed stage.
