Theft-alarm system
The theft-alarm system is designed to provide protection from unauthorized entry into the vehicle. This system is operated in three stages: the first is the “armed” stage, the second is the “alarm” stage, and third is the “disarmed” stage. If triggered, the system provides both audible and visual alarm signals.
Armed stage
Park the vehicle and stop the engine. Arm the system as described below.
1. Remove the key from the ignition switch. 2. Make sure that the engine hood is locked. 3. Lock all doors and the rear hatch or trunk lid by using
NOTE
● The system is also armed by locking your vehicle using the following procedures when you leave the vehicle. • With either the driver’s door or passenger’s door open, set the inside lock knobs on both doors to the locked position and then close the door.
• With either the driver’s door or passenger’s door open, lock all doors and the rear hatch or trunk lid using the power door lock switch and then close the door.
Arm the system and leave.
Features and controls
After completion of the steps above, the theft-alarm indicator (A) will illuminate for approximately 20 seconds and keeps blinking on and off, indicating that the system is armed.
NOTE ● The system will be armed even if the engine hood is open,
but when the system is set, be sure that the engine hood is locked.
● The system will be disarmed if, while the theft-alarm indi- cator (located in the front center of the dashboard) is illu- minated, all doors and the rear hatch or trunk lid are unlocked by remote control transmitter.
● The system will be disarmed if, while the theft-alarm indi- cator is illuminated, the ignition key is turned to the “ON” or “ACC”.
● The system will not be armed if a door is not completely closed. If this happens, rearm the system as described above.
● The trunk lid can only be opened by remote control trans- mitter without triggering or disarming the system even after the system has been armed. When it is closed, the system will be rearmed.
● The driver should not arm the system until first confirm- ing that all passengers have left the vehicle. If the driver arms the system with passenger(s) in the vehicle, the alarm may be activated when the passenger(s) open the door.
Features and controls
Alarm stage
The alarm will be activated if any of the following occur while the vehicle is parked and the system is armed.
1. One of the doors and the rear hatch or trunk lid is opened without the remote control transmitter.
2. The engine hood is opened from the outside. Type of alarm
When the alarm is activated:
1. The headlights blink on and off for 3 minutes. After 3 minutes the headlights automatically shut off.
2. The horn will sound intermittently for 3 minutes.
NOTE
● The alarm will continue to operate for 3 minutes. At the end of that period, the alarm will automatically shut off to save battery power. The system will then be rearmed until the proper disarming step is taken.
Alarm deactivation
The alarm can be deactivated in the following ways.
● By using the remote control transmitter to lock or unlock the door, the rear hatch or trunk lid.
● Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position.

Features and controls
Disarmed stage
The system will be disarmed when either of the following steps are taken:
1. All doors and the rear hatch or trunk lid are unlocked by the remote control transmitter.
2. The ignition key is turned to the “ACC” or “ON” position. 3. If the UNLOCK button is pressed when all doors and the rear hatch or trunk lid are closed and no door is opened within approximately 30 seconds, re-arming will automat- ically occur.
NOTE
● Once the system has been disarmed, it cannot be rearmed except by repeating the arming procedure.
Testing the theft-alarm system
Use the following procedure to test the system: 1. Lower the driver’s window. 2. Arm the system as explained in “Armed stage”. 3. Make sure that the theft-alarm indicator comes on and
flash in approximately 20 seconds. 4. Wait a few seconds and then unlock the driver’s side door

the headlights blink on and off when the door is opened. 6. Disarm the system by unlocking all doors and the rear
hatch or trunk lid by the remote control transmitter or using the key.
NOTE ● To make sure the alarm sounds when the engine hood is
opened, open the engine hood by using the engine hood release lever when the system is in the “armed” stage.
