Theft-alarm system (for Brazil)

Intrusion/tilt sensor ON/OFF

OJF045334L
The intrusion/tilt sensor detects move‐
ment inside the vehicle and inclination
of the vehicle after locking.
4-14
To cancel the sensor operation, press
-
the sensor ON/OFF button when the
system is in the "Disarmed" stage
and the ignition switch or Engine
Start/Stop button is in the OFF posi‐
tion. The button light will turn on to
indicate that the sensor is deactiva‐
ted.
If you press the button again or turn
-
the ignition switch or Engine Start/
Stop button to the ON position, the
sensor will be activated again.
If the system is armed when the sen‐
sor is in the OFF status, the intrusion/
tilt sensor will not operate. But, the
alarm will be activated when the sys‐
tem meets the "intrusion/tilt sensor off
condition" of "Theft alarm" stage. Refer
to Theft-alarm stage on page 4-14.
Deactivate the intrusion/tilt sensor if
there are any chances the vehicle tilts
by the outward influences.
For example,
- When the vehicle is transported by
train, boat or trailer.
- When the vehicle is parked at a park‐
ing tower.
Otherwise, the horn may sound inad‐
vertently.
• Make sure all windows are close while
the sensor operates. If not, the sen‐
sor detects the inadvertent move‐
ment inside the vehicle (for example,
blowing a wind or entering a butter‐
fly) and it makes the horn sounds.
• If boxes are piled high in the vehicle,
the sensor may not detect the move‐
ment behind the boxes. Also the box‐
es may drop and it makes the horn
sounds.
• If the sensor is stained with foreign
matter such as cosmetics, spray type
air freshener, or spray type window
cleaner, the sensor may not operate
normally.
