NOTE
The system will be disarmed if, while the theft-alarm indi-
cator is illuminated, all doors and the liftgate are unlocked
by using the keyless entry system.
The system will be disarmed if, while the theft-alarm indi-
cator is illuminated, the electric motor switch is turned to
the "ON".
The system will not be armed if a door or the liftgate is not
completely closed. If this happens, rearm the system as
described above.
The theft-alarm system can be activated when people are
riding inside the vehicle or when the windows are open.
To prevent accidental activation of the alarm, do not set
3
the system to the system armed mode while people are
riding in the vehicle.
If the answerback function (flashing of the turn signal
lights by locking and unlocking the doors and the liftgate)
is deactivated, the turn signal lights do not flash after the
locking and unlocking operation.
For information on the answerback function, refer to
"Keyless entry system" on pages 3-7.

NOTE
The alarm will continue to operate for 3 minutes. At the
