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 push start sys-
tem remote controller, the request switch
or the keyless entry system transmitter
to unlock the doors when the theft deter-
rent 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.
• The theft deterrent alarm system is
maintenance-free.
How to arm the theft deterrent alarm
system (when enabled)
Lock all doors (including the tailgate) using
the keyless push start system remote con-
troller, the request switch or the keyless
entry system transmitter. The theft deter-
rent 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 intervals of
approximately 2 seconds.

NOTE:
• To prevent the alarm from being acci-
dentally triggered, avoid arming it while
anyone remains inside the vehicle. The
alarm will be triggered if any person
inside unlocks a door by operating the
lock knob 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 knobs or the power door locking
switch from inside.
• If any door is not operated within approx-
imately 30 seconds after the doors have
been unlocked using the keyless push
start system remote controller, the
request switch or the keyless entry sys-
tem transmitter, the doors are automati-
cally locked again. The theft deterrent
alarm system is armed approximately 20
seconds after the doors are automati-
cally locked again if the system is in the
enabled state.
