tion.

can be locked using the key, power door
lock switch or multi-remote controller.

remote controller. All doors lock. The
hazard lights flash twice and the horn
beeps once to indicate all doors are
locked.
cWhen the LOCK button 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

begins to flash once every three seconds.
The system is now activated. If, during
this 30 second time period, a 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 will
activate with doors, and hood locked
and with the ignition key in the OFF
position. Turn the ignition key to ACC
or ON to turn the system off.

vated if one of the following occurs:
cA door is unlocked or the ignition key is
turned to the ACC or ON position during
the 30 seconds in which the SECURITY
light stays on.
cThe SECURITY light blinks at a steady1/2 second on - 1/2 second off rate (a
door, 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.
Vehicle security system operation
The vehicle security system emits the fol-
lowing alarm:
cThe headlights blink and the horn sounds
intermittently. In addition, the starter mo-
tor does not operate.
c

seconds. However, the alarm reactivates
if the vehicle is tampered with again. The
