Content Theft Deterrent (CTD)

The CTD system (when armed) is designed to deter vehicle content theft by pulsing the horns and exterior lamps for approximately 30 seconds when an unauthorized vehicle entry is detected. However, the CTD system does not affect engine starting.

An unauthorized entry can be any of the following situations, with the CTD system armed:
^ Forced entry into the passenger compartment
^ A door is opened without being unlocked by using the key to unlock the left front door, or the UNLOCK command from a keyless entry transmitter

The system contains the following components:
^ Four door lock actuators
^ Four door modules
^ The remote control door lock receiver
^ The left front door lock cylinder switch
^ The Dash Integration Module (DIM)
^ The Rear Integration Module (RIM)

For the CTD operation, refer to Content Theft Deterrent (CTD) Operation.
