Theft Deterrent Alarm System
(if equipped)
The theft deterrent alarm system is armed
in about 20 seconds after you lock all
doors (including the tailgate) by using the
keyless entry system transmitter.
Once the system is armed, any attempt to
open a door by using any other means (*)
than the keyless entry system transmitter
will cause the alarm to be triggered.
* These means include the following:
– The key
– The lock lever on a door
– The power door locking switch
NOTE:
The default setting of the theft deterrent
alarm system is in the enabled state. For
details on how to use the information dis-
play, refer to “Information Display” in this
section.
NOTE:
• The theft deterrent alarm system gener-
ates alarms when any of the predeter-
mined conditions is met. However, the
system does not have any function of
blocking unauthorized entry into your
vehicle.
• Always use the keyless entry system
transmitter to unlock the doors when the
theft deterrent alarm system has been
armed. Using a key instead will trigger
the alarm.
• If a person who does not know the theft
deterrent alarm system is going to drive
your vehicle, we recommend you explain
the system and its operation to the per-
son, or disable the system beforehand.
Mistakenly triggering the alarm may
cause a nuisance to others.
• Even if the theft deterrent alarm system
is armed, you should still be careful to
guard against theft. Do not leave money
or things of value in your vehicle.
How to arm the theft deterrent alarm
system (when enabled)
Lock all doors (including the tailgate) using
the keyless entry system transmitter. The
theft deterrent light (1) will start blinking,
and the theft deterrent alarm system will be
armed in about 20 seconds.
While the system is being armed, the indi-
cator continues to blink at approximately 2-
second intervals.
