This system is designed to provide
protection from unauthorized entry
into the vehicle. This system is oper-
ated in three stages: the first is the
“Armed” stage, the second is the
“Theft-alarm” stage, and the third is
the “Disarmed” stage. If triggered,
the system provides an audible
alarm with blinking of the hazard
warning lights.

1. Turn off the engine.
2. Make sure that all doors (and
trunk) and engine hood are closed
and latched.
3. Lock the doors by depressing the
door lock button on the smart key.
After completion of the steps above,
the hazard warning lights will blink
(for smart key, the chime also
sounds) once to indicate that the
system is armed.
If any door (or trunk) or engine hood
remains open, the hazard warning
lights and the chime will not operate
and the theft-alarm will not arm. If all
doors and trunk and engine hood are
closed after the lock button is
pressed, the hazard warning lights
blink once.The system can also be armed by
locking the doors with the key from
the front doors; however, the hazard
warning lights will not blink using this

the vehicle. If any door (or trunk)
or engine hood is opened within
30 seconds after the system
enters the armed stage, the sys-
tem is disarmed to prevent an

Features of your vehicle
Inside the vehicle
When you can not unlock the trunk
due to battery discharge or other
reasons, you can unlock the trunk
inside the vehicle.
Open the cable cover (1) under the
rear seat with a mechanical key and
pull the cable (2) for unlocking the
trunk. The cable is fixed firmly so it
may hard to pull. Therefore, please
put auxiliary equipment such as a
screwdriver to the loop and pull it
comfortably. You and your passengers must be
aware of the location of the emer-
gency trunk safety release lever in
this vehicle and how to open the
trunk in case you are accidentally
locked in the trunk.
Your vehicle should be kept locked
and the smart key should be kept
out of the reach of children.
Parents should teach their children
about the dangers of playing in
trunks.
Use the release lever for emergen-
cies only.
WARNING
NEVER allow anyone to occupy
the trunk of the vehicle at any
time. If the trunk is partially or
totally latched and the person is
unable to get out, serious injury
or death could occur due to lack
of ventilation, exhaust fumes
and rapid heat build-up, or
because of exposure to cold
weather conditions. The trunk is
also a highly dangerous loca-
tion in the event of a crash
because it is not a protected
occupant space but is a part of
the vehicle’s crush zone.
