Theft deterrent system
To deter the vehicle theft, the system
is designed to give an alarm if any of
the doors, trunk or hood is forcibly un-
locked or the battery terminal is discon-
nected and then reconnected when the
vehicle is locked.
The alarm blows the horn intermittently
and flashes the headlight, tail lights and
interior lights. If any of the doors are
unlocked and the ignition switch is not in
the ignition switch, all the doors will be
automatically locked.SETTING THE SYSTEM1. Turn the ignition key to the LOCKº position and remove it.
The indicator light will start flashing every
1 second when the key is removed from
the ignition switch. (See Engine
immobiliser systemº for details.)
2. Have all 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. The system will automatically be set after
30 seconds. When the system is set, the
indicator light will start flashing again.
4. After making sure the indicator light starts flashing, you may leave the ve-
hicle.
