Power Door Lock Switch: Description and Operation

POWER DOOR LOCK SWITCHES

The power door lock switches are used to either arm or disarm the CTD system. Pressing the lock position will cause the CTD to arm after all doors are closed and the 30 second delay period has elapsed. Pressing the unlock position when the CTD system is in the standby mode will disarm the system. When the CTD system has entered into the armed mode the power door lock switches are inactive and cannot unlock the doors or disarm the CTD system.

Important
The CTD system can be armed with the windows or sunroof open.
