Fargin,
AFAIK, it takes one or two minutes for the sensors to engage. So after you arm the alarm, if a door is still open, it will not trigger immediately.
On more expensive alarms, the arm tone will be different to remind you that a door is still ajar and the door sensor for the open door will not activate (it assumes you left it open on purpose (e.g. a long load extending out of the tailgate).
