Theft Deterrent System
■Engine immobilizer system
The engine immobilizer system prevents the
engine from being started in the event that an
attempt is made to start the vehicle using an
unregistered key.
The security indicator light flashes to indicate that
the system is set.
■Alarm
The system sounds the alarm and flashes the lights when forcible entry is detected.
To set the alarm: close the doors, trunk and hood, and lock all doors. The security indicator
light comes on to indicate that the alarm is in its preparation state. When the indicator light
begins to flash, the system is armed.
To deactivate or stop the alarm: turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to ACCESSORY
or IGNITION ON mode, or unlock the doors or trunk using the entry function or the wire-
less remote control.
■Steering lock
The steering wheel locks when the “ENGINE
START STOP” switch is turned OFF and the
driver’s door is opened.
When the steering lock cannot be released, the
green indicator light on the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch will flash and a message will be
shown on the multi-information display. To release
it, press the “ENGINE START STOP” switch
while gently turning the wheel left and right.
The theft deterrent system includes the following features to help protect your vehicle from
theft.

Driving and Seat Position Memory System
■Setting memory positions
While holding down the “SET” button, press and
hold one of the memory buttons (“1”, “2”, or “3”)
until you hear a beep.
The current position of the seat, as well as the
position of the steering wheel and the outside
rear view mirrors (for the driver's seat only) is
recorded.
■Recalling memory positions
Press one of the memory buttons (“1”, “2”, or “3”).
■Linking driving position memory with door unlock operation
While holding down the desired memory button,
press and hold on the wireless remote control
until you hear a beep.
To prevent triggering of the alarm, open one of
the doors within 60 seconds after the beep is
heard.
Your preferred driving position (the position of the driver's seat, steering wheel and the
outside rear view mirrors) and front passenger seat position can be memorized and
recalled with the touch of a button.
Linking driving position memory to the door unlock operation allows the memory position
to be recalled automatically when the driver's door is opened. (The linked function does not
operate if the driver's door is unlocked using the mechanical key or manually from inside
the vehicle.)
