Disconnect the battery, turn the key to the on position (the position where the engine light comes on). Reconnect the battery and alarm should stay off, then continue to start the car.

Been reading all the blogs on how disconnecting the battery and EPC should reset the alarm...doesn't work! But my method worked everytime..."Good Luck"
