To deter vehicle theft, the system is
designed to sound an alarm if any of
the side doors, back door or hood is
forcibly unlocked or opened or the bat-
tery terminal is disconnected and then
reconnected when the vehicle is locked.
On some models, the alarm also
sounds, when someone attempts to
break the side windows.
The alarm blows the horn intermittently
and flashes the headlights and tail lights.Indicator light

the switch is being pushed and stop when
released.
Key off operation: If all the doors are
closed, it works for 43 seconds even after
the ignition switch is turned off. It stops
working when any of the doors is opened.
Jam protection function: If something
gets caught between the moon roof and
frame during closing operation, the moon
roof stops and opens half way.
If the moon roof receives a strong impact,
this function may work even if nothing is
caught.
