Theft deterrent alarm system
(if equipped)
A theft deterrent alarm system is armed in
about 20 seconds after you close and lock
all doors (including engine hood and tail-
gate) by using the keyless push start sys-
tem remote controller or pushing the
request switch. Once the system is armed,
any attempt to open a door by using any
other means* than the keyless push start
system remote controller, pushing the
request switch or open the engine hood
will cause the alarm to be triggered.
* These means include the following:
– The key
– The lock knob on a door
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 remote controller or the
request switch 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.
• The theft deterrent alarm system is
maintenance-free.
NOTICE
Do not modify or remove the theft
deterrent alarm system. If modified or
removed, the system cannot be prop-
erly operated.
