Partially Armed Mode

The system will enter the "partially armed" mode whenever one of the following conditions is valid during theft alarm arming:
^ movement takes place inside the vehicle within 15 seconds of the lock signal being received
^ a door, tailgate, or bonnet is open.

The engine will be immobilised and cranking is inhibited. The alarm will sound if ignition is turned to start position. The alarm will protect the following:
^ if any of the doors caused partial arming, then opening the tailgate or bonnet will sound the alarm.
^ if the tailgate caused partial arming, then the opening of any doors or the bonnet will sound the alarm.
^ if the bonnet caused partial arming, then the opening of any doors or tailgate will sound the alarm. Volumetric protection is also armed.
^ if two of the above cause partial arming, then the third is still protected.

If the doors, tailgate or bonnet is subsequently closed, after a 5 second delay, the system will fully arm.
