TVIP is a theft deterrent system. If
someone attempts to damage or break
into your vehicle, the system sounds
the alarm while flashing the lights.SETTING THE SYSTEM
You can set the system as follows.1. Remove the key from the ignition switch.
2. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle.
3. Close all the doors and trunk lid secu- rely.
4. Lock all the doors with the key or wire- less remote control transmitter. At this
time, the TVIP indicator light comes
on.
The system will be set in 30 seconds.
When the system is set, the indicator
light will start to flash. 5. Make sure that the indicator light
flashes. Then you may leave the ve-
hicle.
Never leave anyone in the vehicle when
you set the system because unlocking
from the inside activates the alarm.
Activating the alarm
If the system detects a threat to the
vehicle, it sounds the alarm for one
minute while flashing headlights and
turn signal lights.
At this time, the interior light also turns
on when the interior light dial is in the
DOOR position. (See “Interior/instrument
panel light control” on page 79 in Section
1 −5.)
The system detects a threat under any of
the following conditions:
Either of the front doors is unlocked by
means other than the key or wireless
remote control transmitter.
If the key is not in the ignition switch,
all the doors will be automatically
locked again.
Any of the doors or trunk lid are forci-
bly opened.
The alarm will activate when the trunk
lid is opened with a key. Cancel the
system before o pening the trunk lid.
