Hello,

To reset the alarm exit the car with all doors closed and the windows rolled up. Also, close and any rear doors such as the trunk, rear hatch and front hood. Lock the car using the drivers side lock and walk away from the car at least ten feet. Wait for fifteen minutes and unlock the door, this should reset the security system.

Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken
