Theft deterrent system—
To deter the vehicle theft, the system
is designed to give an alarm and keep
the engine from being started if any of
the front, sliding or back doors or hood
is forcibly unlocked or the battery ter-
minal is disconnected and then recon-
nected when the vehicle is locked.
The alarm blows the horn intermittently
and flashes the headlights, tail lights and
other exterior lights. The engine cannot be
started because the starter circuit will be
cut.
