THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM
To deter theft of the vehicle, this system is designed to
give an alarm and keep the engine from being started if
any of the doors, trunk or hood is forcibly unlocked or the
battery terminal is disconnected and then reconnected
while the vehicle is locked.
The alarm blows the horn intermittently and flashes the
headlights, tail lights and other exterior lights. The engine
cannot he started because the starter circuit will be disabled.
Setting the system
1. Turn the ignition key to the “LOCK” position and
remove it.
2. Driver and passengers get out of the vehicle.
3. Close and lock all the doors, trunk and hood.The indicator light will come on when all the doors, trunk and
hood are closed and locked.
When the front doors are locked, the system will give you a
period of 30 seconds before it is set, during which the doors,
trunk and hood may be opened.
During this period, any of the doors is unlocked, the system will
be cancelled.
4. After making sure the indicator light starts flashing,
you may depart from the vehicle.
The system will automatically set itself after the 30−second
period. The indicator light will flash to show the system is set.
If any of the doors, trunk or hood is opened before the system
is set, setting is interrupted until it is closed and locked.
Never leave anyone in the vehicle when you set the system,
because unlocking a door from the inside will activate the
system.
