Security alarm system
The Security Alarm system monitors the doors, rear liftgate/decklid, hood, and ignition for unauthorized operation. The Security Alarm system is automatically armed or disarmed with the remote control or any of your vehicle’s keys by locking or unlocking the vehicle. The antitheft alarm is armed within approximately 10 seconds after locking the vehicle. A blinking light in the tow away alarm switch indicates that the alarm is armed. Once the Security Alarm system has been armed, the
exterior vehicle lights will flash and an alarm will sound when a door, the rear liftgate/decklid, the hood, or glove compartment is opened, or if someone attempts to raise the vehicle for towing. The Security Alarm will flash the exterior lamps for approximately three minutes and sound an audible alarm for 30 seconds. The Security Alarm will stay on even if the activating element is immediately closed.
Tow-Away Alarm
The tow-away alarm switch is located on the console. To deactivate for towing or jacking up the vehicle, press and release the upper portion of the switch. Press and release the upper portion to activate it again. After the alarm system has been armed, the exterior vehicle lights will flash and an alarm will sound when someone attempts to raise the vehicle. The alarm will flash the exterior lamps for approximately three minutes
and sound an audible alarm for 30 seconds. The alarm will stay on even if the vehicle is immediately lowered. To cancel the alarm, insert the key into the ignition switch or press a transmit button on the key Fob. To prevent triggering the tow-away alarm feature when parking on a surface subject to movement (such as a ferry), switch off the tow-away alarm. To do so, turn the key in the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK or ACC position, or remove the key from the ignition switch. Press the tow-away alarm switch and the indicator light will illuminate briefly. Exit the vehicle, and lock the vehicle with the key or the remote control. The tow-away alarm remains switched off until the vehicle is locked again with the key or the remote control, at which time it is automatically reactivated.
DECKLID INTERNAL EMERGENCY RELEASE - ROADSTER
As a security measure, a Decklid Internal Emergency Release lever is built into the decklid latching mecha- nism. In the event of an individual being locked inside
the trunk, the decklid can be easily opened by pulling on the glow-in-the-dark handle attached to the decklid latching mechanism. See image below.
WARNING! Do not allow children to have access to the trunk by climbing into the trunk from outside. Always close the decklid when your vehicle is unattended. Once in the trunk, young children may not be able to escape. If trapped in the trunk, children can die from suffo- cation or heat stroke.
WARNING! If the battery voltage drops below the minimum threshold at any time, the Trunk Internal Emergency Release will not function.
WARNING! The Trunk Internal Emergency Release will not func- tion during the convertible top operation.
