How to arm the theft deterrent
alarm system (When enabled)
69T030100
Lock all doors (including the tailgate and
engine hood) using the remote controller
or the request switch. 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 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.
• The theft deterrent alarm system is not
armed when all doors are locked using
the key from outside, or using the door
lock knobs.
• If any door is not operated within approx-
imately 30 seconds after the doors have
been unlocked using the remote control-
ler or the request switch, the doors are
automatically locked again. After the
doors are locked, the theft deterrent
alarm system will be armed in about 20
seconds if the system is in the enabled
state.
How to disarm the theft deterrent
alarm system
Simply unlock the doors using the remote
controller or the request switch. The theft
deterrent light will go out, indicating that
the theft deterrent alarm system is dis-
armed.
How to stop the alarm
Should the alarm be triggered accidentally,
unlock the doors using the remote control-
ler or the request switch, or press the
engine switch to change the ignition mode
to ON. The alarm will then stop.
NOTE:
• Even after the alarm has stopped, if you
lock the doors using the remote control-
ler or the request switch, the theft deter-
rent alarm system will be rearmed with a
delay of about 20 seconds.
• If you disconnect the lead-acid battery
while the theft deterrent alarm system is
in the armed condition or the alarm is
actually in operation, the alarm will be
triggered or re-triggered when the bat-
tery is then reconnected, although, in the
latter case, the alarm remains stopped
for the period between disconnection
and reconnection of the lead-acid bat-
tery.
• Even after the alarm has stopped at the
end of the predetermined operation time,
it will be triggered again if any door is
opened without disarming the theft
deterrent alarm system.
