Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some
cities. Although your vehicle has a number of

put on it can make it impossible to steal.

to enter the vehicle without using the remote
keyless entry transmitter or a key or turns
the ignition on with an incorrect key. The horn will
sound and the turn signal lamps will ash for

opened with the remote keyless entry transmitter.
