Antitheft and Alarm Systems: Description and Operation

Security System

FEATURE
- The security system protects the vehicle from a theft action (unauthorized entry into the vehicle). Upon detection of such an action, it gives audible and visible alarms by causing the horn to sound and the parking lights to flash. It also immobilizes the vehicle by disabling the starter circuit.
- Unauthorized entry is monitored through the switches on the doors, rear gate and trunk lid. If one of the switches is turned ON, the system interprets it as an attempt of unauthorized entry and gives alarms while disabling the starter circuit.
- Unauthorized entry is also monitored by the impact sensor. Whenever the sensor senses an abnormal impact on the vehicle, the system operates in either of the two levels of warning according to the magnitude of the impact.

1. WARNING

- When activated, the security system causes the parking lights to flash and the horn to sound intermittently. In addition, the security indicator light on combination meter flashes rapidly and the starter motor circuit is disabled.
- The alarms automatically turn OFF after 30 seconds. However, they will be reactivated if the vehicle is tampered with again.
- The alarms are activated when a door, rear gate or trunk lid is opened without using the keyless entry transmitter. (When the system is armed, the alarms will be triggered even if a door is opened by releasing the inside door handle or the trunk lid is opened by operating the trunk lid release lever.)
- The alarms are also activated when an impact on vehicle body is sensed.

2. HOW TO ARM THE SYSTEM

1. Remove the key from the ignition switch.
2. Make sure that the trunk lid is closed.
3. Push the transmitter's LOCK button.
4. The horn will chirp once and the parking lights will flash once.
5. Confirm that the security indicator light blinks slowly (once every two seconds). If any of the doors, rear gate or trunk lid is not properly closed, the system warns the driver of this by causing the horn to sound three times. When the door, rear gate or trunk lid is closed, it will be automatically locked and the security system starts working. The indicator light blinks every 2 seconds when the system is armed and continues to blink until the system is disarmed.

NOTE: The system can be armed even if the windows are open. Therefore, make sure all windows are closed.

3. HOW TO DISARM THE SYSTEM

1. Push keyless entry transmitter's UNLOCK button.
2. The horn will chirp twice and the parking lights flash twice.
3. The security indicator light turns OFF.
4. The interior light will illuminate for 30 seconds and then turns OFF. (However, if a system arming procedure is performed during this period, the interior light will turn OFF.)

4. HOW TO STOP ALARMS

Push the transmitter's UNLOCK button or turn the ignition switch from "LOCK" to "ON" repeatedly 3 times in succession.
