Pre-Check

1. OUTLINE OF THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM

The security has an "Alarm Control" and the control consists of 2 modes.
- Active mode
This mode begins "Alarm Control" as the user locks the vehicle by intention.
- Passive mode
This mode begins "Alarm Control" even if the user forgets locking the vehicle. (See Switch to Active Mode). (This mode begins "Alarm Control" when the user closed all doors and the engine hood.)

HINT:
- "Alarm Control" refers to the function that detects intrusion into the vehicle and sounds an alarm.
- Even when the "Alarm Control" operates in the passive mode, it works as in the active mode if a condition to begin the active mode is met.

2. ACTIVE ARMING MODE




There are 4 modes in active mode.

1. Disarmed state
- The alarm system is not set (theft detection is impossible), and the alarm does not sound. The system does not detect any theft.
2. Arming preparation (for 30 seconds)
- The waiting period when the alarm set requirements are met to when the system is actually set.
3. Armed state
The state the alarm is set (operation is possible). The system can detect theft.
4. Alarm sounding:
The system detects theft and informs using sounds and lights.
- The state of waiting to switch to armed state again to have alarming interval after finishing alarming time.
- Perform forced door lock when the door is unlocked.

3. PASSIVE ARMING MODE




There are 4 modes in active mode.

1. Disarmed state (1)
- The state is same as the disarmed state in active mode.
2. Disarmed state (2)
- The alarm is not set. Pulling out the key and any of the doors is/are opened. (= the state if the opened door(s) and the engine hood are closed, the alarm is set.)
3. Arming preparation (for 30 seconds)
The state is same as the arming preparation in active mode.

4. Armed state




The state is same as the armed state in the active mode (However, it does not performs the theft deterrent by unlock operation).

5. Alarm sounding:
The system detects theft and informs using sounds and lights.
- The state is same as the alarming sounding in the active mode (However, it does not performs forced door lock output).

HINT: In the armed state, it one of the doors is opened, entry delay occurs. (14 secs.)
During this time, the mode transfers to the disarmed state when the condition described is met. When the condition is not met, the system judges as a theft occurred, and the mode transfers to alarm sounding.

4. INDICATOR LIGHT OUTPUT




The indicator outputs the condition of the alarm control and the intrusion sensor control as shown.

HINT: Even in disarmed state, the indicator light flashes. (Due to the signal output from immobilizer system). The indicator always flashes by receiving the signal from the immobilizer system at any time in the arming condition.

Flashing frequency:
0.2 seconds (ON)
1.8 seconds (OFF)

Response:
The hazard lights flash under the following conditions.
1. When the system is set.
When arming preparation is set from disarmed state using the wireless door lock, the hazard lights flash once.
2. When the system is released.
When disarmed state is set from either arming preparation, armed state or alarm sounding using the wireless door lock, the hazard lights flash twice.

5. SWITCH TO ACTIVE MODE




In each passive mode, when "disarmed state of active mode -> arming preparation switch condition" is met, the active mode switch to each condition. In this case, active mode continues till disarmed state.

6. FORCED DOOR LOCK CONTROL
While detecting intrusion into the vehicle and sounding alarm, alarm control outputs the door lock at the moment the door is unlocked, and prevents intrusion into the vehicle.

1. Condition for Starting Forced Door Lock
Detecting any of the following conditions activates the forced door lock.
- Alarm system is in alarm status in active mode.
- Except for the case that the key unlock/luggage unlock switch is turned on.
- No key is in the ignition key cylinder.
- Some of the doors are unlocked.
- Since the start of the last forced lock, 0.38 sec. or more has been elapsed.

2. Conditions for Stopping Forced Door Lock
Detecting any of the following conditions stops the forced door lock.
- All doors are locked.
- An alarm is stopped.
- A key is inserted into the key cylinder.

7. PANIC CONTROL
The function to sound the alarm when the user presses the panic switch of the wireless key.

8. ALARM MEMORY CONTROL
If an alarm is activated while a user leaves the vehicle, when the user comes back to the vehicle and reset the security system, the tail lights will come on for 2 sec. to show the alarm occurrence.
