Testing the Alarm
To test the alarm, do the following:
1. Open all the windows.
2. Set the system as described in the previous
procedure. The doors and liftgate should be
locked with the key or remote keyless
entry transmitter. Be sure to wait until the
indicator light starts flashing.
3. Unlock the driver's door from the inside. The
system should activate the alarm.
4. Stop the alarm as described in the disarming
procedure following.
5. Repeat this operation for the other doors. Also
check that the system is activated when the
battery terminal is disconnected and then
reconnected.
If the system does not work properly, have it
checked by your dealer.
How the System Alarm is Activated
The system will activate the alarm under the
following conditions:
•
If the driver's or front passenger's door is
unlocked or if any of the other doors or
the liftgate is forcibly opened without the key
or remote keyless entry transmitter.
•
If the battery terminal is disconnected and
then reconnected.
•
If the ignition is hot-wired.
•
If the side window glass is broken or damaged.
The indicator light will come on when the
system is activated.
If the driver's or front passenger's doors are
unlocked without using the key or remote keyless
entry transmitter, the other doors and the
liftgate will be automatically locked again.
After one minute the alarm will automatically stop
and the indicator light will start flashing again.
