NOTE:
The theft deterrent alarm system gener-
ates alarms when any of the predeter-
mined conditions is met. However, the
system does not have any function of
blocking unauthorized entry into your
vehicle.
Always use the keyless start system
remote controller or the request switch to
unlock the doors when the theft deter-
rent alarm system has been armed.
Using a key instead will trigger the
alarm.
If a person who does not know the theft
deterrent alarm system is going to drive
your vehicle, we recommend you to
explain the system and its operation to
the person, or disable the system before-
hand. Mistakenly triggering the alarm
may cause a nuisance to others.
Even if the theft deterrent alarm system
is armed, you should still be careful to
guard against theft. Do not leave money
or things of value in your vehicle.How to arm the theft deterrent alarm
system (when enabled)
Lock the doors using the keyless start sys-
tem remote controller or by pushing the
request switch. The theft deterrent light (1)
will start flashing, and the theft deterrent
alarm system will be armed in about 20
seconds.
While the system is being armed, the indi-
cator continues to flash at approximately 2-
second intervals.
57L30094
NOTE:
To prevent the alarm from being acciden-
tally triggered, avoid arming it while any-
one remains inside the vehicle. The
alarm will be triggered if any person
inside unlocks a door by operating the
lock lever or power door locking switch.
The theft deterrent alarm system is not
armed when all doors are locked using
the key from outside, or using the door
lock levers or the power door locking
switch from inside.
If the timer locking function is activated,
the system will be automatically armed
at the preset time unless the theft deter-
rent alarm system has been disabled.
How to disarm the theft deterrent alarm
system
Simply unlock the doors using the keyless
start system remote controller or by push-
ing the request switch. The theft deterrent
light will go out, indicating that the theft
deterrent alarm system is disarmed.

How to stop the alarm
Should the alarm be triggered accidentally,
change the ignition mode to “ON” by press-
ing the engine switch. The alarm will then
stop.
NOTE:
Even after the alarm has stopped, if you
lock the doors using the keyless start
system remote controller or by pushing
the request switch, the theft deterrent
alarm system will be rearmed with a
delay of about 20 seconds.
If you disconnect the battery while the
theft deterrent alarm system is in the
armed condition or the alarm is actually
in operation, the alarm will be triggered
or re-triggered when the battery is then
reconnected, although, in the latter case,
the alarm remains stopped for the period
between disconnection and reconnec-
tion of the battery.
Even after the alarm has stopped at the
end of the predetermined operation time,
it will be triggered again if any door is
opened without disarming the theft
deterrent alarm system.Checking whether the alarm has been
triggered during parking
If the alarm was triggered due to an unau-
thorized entry into the vehicle and you then
change the ignition mode to “ON” by press-
ing the engine switch, the theft deterrent
light will flash rapidly for about 8 seconds
and a buzzer will beep 4 times during this
period. If this happens, check whether your
vehicle has been broken into while you
were away from it.
Enabling and disabling the theft deter-
rent alarm system
The theft deterrent alarm system can be
either “enabled” or “disabled”.
When enabled (factory setting)
When the system is enabled, it causes the
hazard warning lights to flash for about 40
seconds if any of the alarm trigger condi-
tions is met. The system also causes the
interior buzzer to beep intermittently for
about 10 seconds, which is followed by
intermittent sounding of the horn for about
30 seconds.
*The theft deterrent light continues to flash
during this time.
When disabled
When the system is disabled, it stays dis-
armed even if you perform any system
arming operation.How to switch the state of the theft
deterrent alarm system
You can switch the theft deterrent alarm
system from the enabled state to the dis-
abled state, and vice versa, using the fol-
lowing method.

NOTE:
The driver’s and passenger’s windows can
be operated for 30 seconds even after the
ignition mode is changed from “ON” to
“ACC” or “LOCK” (OFF) by pressing the
engine switch. However, if either of the
front doors is opened within this 30-second
period, the windows cannot be operated
thereafter.
If you drive with one of the rear windows
open, you may hear a loud sound caused
by air vibration. To reduce the sound, openthe driver’s or front passenger’s window, or
narrow the rear window opening.
Initialization of Auto-Down/Up Function
If the auto-down/up function does not work
for some reason, initialize the function as
instructed below. Note that the initialization
must be performed using the switch for
each window; the function of the passen-
ger’s door window cannot be initialized
using the switch of the driver’s door win-
dow.
1) Start the engine.
2) Open the front window fully by holding
the window switch in the “Down” posi-
tion.
3) Close the front window by holding the
switch in the “Up” position, and keep
holding the switch for 2 seconds after
the window fully closed.
4) Check the front window if the auto-
down/up feature work.
Pinching Prevention Function
(if equipped)The front window is equipped with the
pinching prevention function. The function
detects a foreign object caught in the win-
dow while being closed by the “auto-up”
feature, which you can close the window
without holding the window switch in the
“Up” position, and stops the window clos-
ing to prevent damage.
WARNING
You should always lock the passen-
ger’s window operation when there
are children in the vehicle. Children
can be seriously injured if they get
part of their body caught by the
window during operation.
To avoid injuring an occupant by
window entrapment, be sure no
part of the occupant’s body such
as hands or head is in the path of
the electric windows when closing
them.
Always take the keyless start sys-
tem remote controller with you
when leaving the vehicle even if
only for a short time. Also do not
leave children alone in a parked
vehicle. Unattended children could
use the electric window switches
and get trapped by the window.
WARNING
To avoid injuring an occupant by win-
dow entrapment, be sure no part of
the occupant’s body such as hands
or head is in the path of the electric
window when closing it.
The function may not detect the
object depending on size, hardness,
and position of the object caught by
the closing window.
CAUTION
The pinching prevention function
does not act while you are holding
the window switch in the “Up” posi-
tion.
The pinching prevention function
may not detect an object caught in
the window where just before the
window fully closed.
