The alarm detects forcible entry and attracts attention to the vehicle by sounding the horn

To set the alarm: lock all the doors from outside the vehicle. When all the doors are locked, the
security indicator light comes on to indicate that the alarm is in its preparation state. The indi-
cator light begins to flash after approximately 30 seconds to indicate that the system is armed.
To deactivate or stop the alarm: unlock the doors using the key or the wireless remote con-
trol, or turn the engine switch to the ON position. (The alarm will stop after several sec-
onds.)
