Theft-Deterrent System

*

If the theft-deterrent system detects an
inappropriate entry into the vehicle, which
could result in the vehicle or its contents
being stolen, the alarm alerts the
surrounding area of an abnormality by
sounding the horn and flashing the hazard
warning lights.
 
The system will not function unless it's
properly armed. So when you leave the
vehicle, follow the arming procedure
correctly.

Operation

System triggering conditions

The horn sounds intermittently and the
hazard warning lights flash for about 30
seconds when the system is triggered by
any one of the following:



Unlocking a door with the auxiliary key,
door lock switch, or an inside door-lock
knob.



Forcing open a door, the hood or the
trunk lid.



Opening the hood by operating the hood
release handle.



Switching the ignition ON without using
the push button start.

If the system is triggered again, the lights
and horn will activate until the driver's
door or the trunk lid is unlocked with the
transmitter.

(With the advanced keyless function)

The lights and horn can also be
deactivated by pressing the request switch
on a door.

NOTE



If the battery goes dead while the
theft-deterrent system is armed, the horn
will activate and the hazard warning
lights will flash when the battery is
charged or replaced.
