and audio alarm signals if parts of the
vehicle are disturbed.

system

2. Remove the key from the ignition switch.
3. Close the hood, trunk lid and all doors.
4. Push the
button on the multi-remote
controller. All the doors lock. The hazard
lights flash twice and the horn beeps
once to indicate all doors are locked.c
When thebutton is pushed with all
doors locked, the hazard lights flash twice
and the horn beeps once as a reminder that
the doors are already locked.
The horn may or may not beep once. Refer
to ``Silencing the horn beep feature'' later in
this section.
The system can be activated even if the
windows are open.

light comes on. The SECURITY light
glows for about 30 seconds and then
begins to flash once every three seconds.
The system is now activated. If, during
this 30-second time period, the door is
unlocked by the key or the multi-remote
controller, or the ignition key is turned to
ACC or ON, the system will not activate.
cIf the key is turned slowly when lock-
ing the door, the system may not acti-
vate. Furthermore, if the key is turned
excessively to the unlock position, the
system may be deactivated when the
key is removed. If the indicator light
fails to glow for 30 seconds, unlock
the door once and lock it again.
cEven when the driver and/or passen-
gers are in the vehicle, the system willactivate with all doors, hood, and
trunk lid locked and ignition key off.

turn the system off.

1/2 second on - 1/2 second off rate (a
door, the trunk, or the hood is open and
the key is not in the ACC or ON position).
When the ignition key is turned to the
ACC or ON position, the SECURITY light
turns off.
