There is a 20 second countdown when any of the above actions occur before the vehicle becomes armed. Each door, the hood or the trunk is armed individually, and if any are open, they must be closed for the system to enter the 20 second countdown. The turn signal lamps will flash once when all doors, the hood or the trunk are closed indicating the vehicle is locked and entering the 20 second countdown.
