PRE-CHECK
1. SETTING OF THE THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM
Setting Conditions
(a) Close all the doors.
(b) Close the engine hood and luggage compartment door.
(c) Remove the ignition key from the ignition key cylinder.
Setting Operation
When any of the following operations (a), (b) or (c) is performed, the theft deterrent indicator light will light
up as described.
(1) Lock the left or right front door using the key
(All doors are locked by key-interlinked lock operation).
(2) Lock all the doors using the wireless door lock control system.
(3) With the rear doors locked and with one of the front doors locked, lock the other front door without
using the key (keyless door lock).
Elapsed time after operationIndicator light

After about 30 secondsBlinks *1
*1: 1 sec. or, 1 sec. off
HINT:
When the theft deterrent system is set, doors cannot be locked or unlocked with the door lock control switch
and the luggage compartment door cannot be unlocked with the luggage compartment door opener switch.
2. CANCELING OF THE THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM IN THE SET CONDITION
Check if the theft deterrent indicator light is blinking.
Canceling Operation
When any of the following operations (a), (b), (c) or (d) is performed, the theft deterrent system is canceled
and indicator light will go off.
Condition
(1) Unlock the left or right front door using the key.
(2) Unlock all the doors using the wireless door lock control system.
(3) Insert the ignition key in the ignition key cylinder and turn it to the ACC or ON position
(This is operative only when the theft deterrent system has never operated).
(4) Unlock the luggage compartment door with the key. *1
*1: The theft deterrent system is temporarily canceled only while the luggage compartment door is open.
Approximately 2 seconds after the luggage compartment door is closed, the theft deterrent system is reset.
3. CHECK OF THE THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM OPERATION
Check if the theft deterrent indicator light is blinking.
When any of the following operations (a) or (b) is performed, the system sounds the horns and theft deterrent
horn and flashes the headlights and taillights for about one minute to alert. At the same time, the system
disconnects the starter motor circuit and locks all doors (if all doors are not locked, the system repeats door
locking operation every 2 seconds during the one minute alert time).
(1) Open the engine hood using the engine hood opener lever.
(2) Unlock any of the front or rear doors without key operation.
