Stopping the alarm
The alarm will be stopped by the following
three ways:
Turn the engine switch from the
“LOCK” to “ON” position.
Unlock any of the doors with the key
or wireless remote control transmitter.
Open the trunk with the wireless re-
mote control transmitter.
These ways cancel the system at the
same time.
If the battery becomes discharged due
to the vehicle being unused for a long
time, etc., when the battery is recharged
or replaced, the system will give the
alarm. If this happens, immediately unlock
any of the doors with the key or the wire-
less remote control transmitter, and the
alarm will stop. TESTING THE SYSTEM
1. Open both windows.
2. Set the system as described above. The doors should be locked with the
key or wireless remote control transmit-
ter. Be sure to wait until the indicator
light goes off or starts flashing.
3. Unlock any door from the inside. The system s hould activate the alarm.
4. Stop the alarm as described above.
5. Repeat this operation for the other doors, trunk and hood. When testing
the hood, also check that the system
is activated when the battery terminal
is disconnected and then reconnected.
If the system does not work properly,
have it checked by your Toyota dealer.
