Theft-Deterrent System

í

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.
Refer to Operation on page 3-71.

NOTE

l

The theft-deterrent system operates with the
key or the keyless entry system transmitter.

l

(With advanced key)

The theft-deterrent system can also be
operated using the advanced keyless
function.
The system operates only when the driver is
in the vehicle or within operational range
while the advanced key is being carried.

l

The system will not function unless it is
properly armed. To properly secure the
vehicle, always make sure both windows
are completely closed and both doors and
the trunk lid are locked before leaving the
vehicle. Remember to take your key and
transmitter.

Operation

System triggering conditions

The horn sounds intermittently and the
hazard warning lights flash for about 25
seconds when the system is triggered by

l

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

l

Unlocking a door with the door lock
switch.

door-lock knob.

l

Opening the hood by operating the
hood release handle.

l

Opening the trunk lid by operating the
trunk lid release button.

If the system is triggered again, the lights
and horn will activate until a door is
unlocked or the trunk lid is opened with
the key or with the transmitter.

(With advanced key)

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

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.
