Theft-alarm system

The theft-alarm system is designed to provide
protection from unauthorized entry into the
vehicle. This system is operated in three
stages: the first is the "armed" stage, the sec-
ond is the "alarm" stage, and third is the "dis-
armed" stage. If triggered, the system
provides both audible and visual alarm sig-
nals.
CAUTION
 Do not modify or add parts to the theft-alarm
system. Doing so could cause the theft-alarm
to malfunction.
