To deter the vehicle theft, the system
is designed to sound an alarm 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.SETTING THE SYSTEM1. Turn the ignition key to the “LOCK” position and remove it.
The indicator light will start flashing when
the key is removed from the ignition
switch. (See “Engine immobiliser system”
for details.)
2. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle.
3. Close the front, sliding and back doors and hood. Then lock all the doors with
the key or wireless remote control
transmitter.
The indicator light will remain on when the
front, sliding and back doors and hood are
closed and locked. As the doors are locked, the system will
give you a preparation time of 30 seconds
before the setting, during which the front,
sliding or back doors and hood may be
opened.
Be careful not to unlock any door with the
key or wireless remote control transmitter
during setting. This will cancel the system.
4. After making sure the indicator light starts flashing, you may leave the ve-
hicle.
The system will automatically be set after
the preparation time passes. The indicator
light will flash to show the system is set.
If any of the front, sliding or back doors
or hood is open at that time, the setting
is interrupted until it is closed and locked.
Never leave anyone in the vehicle when
you set the system, because unlocking
from the inside will activate the system.
