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.

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.
