??? J/W cause my gf has my remote thingy

I think that if you use the power locks from the inside of the car and then shut the door the light will come on. Maybe I am wrong so just park your car in a safe place until you can get a key .

Either lock your door using the powerlock button and shut your door, or use the key to lock all the doors, which should also arm the alarm. Basically, the alarm is armed when the doors are locked and fully closed.

Ok I thought you needed the remote thing...cause when i use the remote the red light stays on...that means it armed ( i think) i dont know

I checked it. Either keyless remote or door lock switch on the door will activate the alarm system. I can see either way makes the sucurity red LED blink about 30 seconds after doors are fully closed (2nd stage latch) and locked.
