Sensor

theft-deterrent system features, this

The power sounder provides an
audible alarm which is distinct from
the vehicle s horn. It has its own
power source, and can sound an
alarm if the vehicle s battery is
compromised.

The inclination sensor can set off
the alarm if it senses movement of
the vehicle, such as a change in
vehicle orientation.
Immobilizer
See Radio Frequency Statement on
page 13-15.

theft-deterrent system.
The system does not have to be
manually armed or disarmed.
The vehicle is automatically

turned off.
The immobilization system is
disarmed when the pushbutton start
is activated to enter the ACC/
ACCESSORY mode or the ON/
RUN/START mode and a valid
transmitter is present in the vehicle.
