Arm Wait Mode

The ARM WAIT mode is active for 30 seconds. If any entrance (hood, doors, tailgate) is opened, any lock knob is moved to an UNLOCK state, or the ignition switch is turned ON, the system will immediately enter DISARM mode. The system will enter ARM state if none of the previously mention conditions occur during the 30-second ARM WAIT mode.
