Security System

The security system helps to protect
your car and valuables from theft.
The horn sounds and a combination
of headlights, parking lights, side
marker lights and taillights flashes if
someone attempts to break into your
car or remove the radio. This alarm
continues for two minutes, then the
alarm stops. To reset an alarming
system before the two minutes have
elapsed, unlock either door with the
key or the remote transmitter.
The security system sets auto-
matically fifteen seconds after you
lock the doors, hood, and hatch. The
security system indicator on the
instrument panel starts blinking
immediately to show you the system
is setting itself.

Once the security system is set,
opening either door (without using
the key or the remote transmitter),
or the hood, will cause it to alarm. It
also alarms if the radio is removed
from the dashboard or the wiring is
cut.
The security system will not set if
the hood, hatch, or either door is not
fully closed. If the system will not set,
check the Door Open Indicator on
the instrument panel (see page
to see if the doors are fully closed.
Since they are not part of the
monitor display, manually check the
hood and hatch.
Do not attempt to alter this system
or add other devices to it.
