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 the doors using the keyless entry sys-
tem 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.

NOTE:
• To prevent the alarm from being acciden-
tally triggered, avoid arming it while any-
one remains inside the vehicle. The
alarm will be triggered if any person
inside unlocks a door by operating the
lock lever or power door locking switch.
• The theft deterrent alarm system is not
armed when all doors are locked using
the key from outside, or using the door
lock levers or the power door locking
switch from inside.
• If any of the doors is not operated within
approximately 30 seconds after the
doors have been unlocked using the key-
less entry system transmitter, the doors
are automatically locked again. At the
same time, the theft deterrent alarm sys-
tem is armed if the system is in the
enabled state.
How to disarm the theft deterrent alarm
system
Simply unlock the doors using the keyless
entry system transmitter. The theft deter-
rent light will go out, indicating that the
theft deterrent alarm system is disarmed.
