The security light came on when I strarted the car after it had been parked in the Tucson airport parking lot for a week. The car runs OK, but the light is on when the ignition is on. How can I turn the light off?

Disarming an Armed System/Silencing an Alarm

If system arming has been requested by the power door lock switch or the keyless entry transmitter, it must be disarmed.

IMPORTANT: Using the power door unlock switch or manually unlocking the doors does not disable the CTD arm mode. Also, disconnecting the battery or pulling fuses does not disable the arm mode, since the BCM stores the CTD mode status in memory.

To disarm the CTD system in standby mode (theft LED flashing and door(s) open), perform one of the following:
Press either power door unlock switch.
Press the UNLOCK button on the keyless entry transmitter.
Insert a valid key into the ignition and switch to the ON position.
To disarm the CTD system in the armed mode:
Press the UNLOCK button on the keyless entry transmitter.
Insert a valid key into the ignition and switch to the ON position
To disarm the CTD system when activated (alarming mode).
Press the UNLOCK button on the keyless entry transmitter.
Insert a valid key into the ignition and switch to the ON position.
