The intrusion sensor detects intruders or movement in the vehicle.
When an intruder or movement is detected, the alarm will be trig-
gered.
This system is designed to deter and prevent vehicle theft but does
not guarantee absolute security against all intrusions.
■Setting the intrusion sensor
The intrusion sensor will be set automatically when the alarm is set.
(→ P. 8 9 )
■Canceling the intrusion sensor
If you are leaving pets or other moving things inside the vehicle,
make sure to disable the intrusion sensor before setting the alarm,
as it will respond to movement inside the vehicle.
Turn the engine switch to the lock position (vehicles without
smart entry & start system) or off (vehicles with smart entry &
start system).
Press the intrusion sensor
cancel switch.
Pressing the switch again will
re-enable the intrusion sensor.
■Canceling and automatic re-enabling of the intrusion sensor
●The alarm will still be set even when the intrusion sensor is canceled.
● Vehicles without smart entry & start system: After the intrusion sensor is
canceled, turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position or unlocking the
doors using the wireless remote control will re-enable the intrusion sensor.
Vehicles with smart entry & start system: After the intrusion sensor is can-
celed, pressing the engine switch or unlocking the doors using the entry
function or wireless remote control will re-enable the intrusion sensor.
● The intrusion sensor will automatically be re-enabled when the alarm sys-
tem is deactivated.
