2. DISARMING THE SYSTEM
(1) The system will be disarmed if the key is used to unlock a door.
(2) If the system is armed while the driver is still in the vehicle, the system can be disarmed by
inserting the ignition key and turning it to the ACC or ON position.
NOTE
Except when the key is used to unlock the rear hatch, once the system has been disarmed, it
cannot be re-armed except by following the arming sequence.
3. ACTIVATING THE ALARM
(1) If an attempt is made to open a door, the rear hatch or the hood, without using the key, while the
system is armed, the-horn will sound intermittently and the headlights will flash on and off for
approximately three minutes.
Furthermore, the starter circuit is interrupted at this time also, making starting of the engine
impossible.
(2) If a further attempt at forcible entry is made after the first three-minute alarm has finished, the
three-minute alarm will be activated again.
NOTE
(1) The interruption of the starter circuit will be maintained, once the system has been activated, until
it is deactivated. If, however, the key is used, starting is possible even if the alarm is not
deactivated.
(2) An alarm start initiated by an opening of the rear hatch or the hood is limited to when all doors are
closed and locked, or the second unauthorized entry after the alarm has occurred one time.
4. DEACTIVATING THE ALARM
The alarm is deactivated and the system is disarmed when a door or rear hatch is unlocked with the key.
NOTE
Once the alarm has started, the system cannot be deactivated even if the ignition key is turned to the ACC
or ON position.
5. CHECKING THE SYSTEM OPERATION
The activation/operation of the system can be checked by following the steps below.
(1) Turn the ignition key to the ON position and then use the power-window switch to fully open the
window at the driver's seat side.
- (2) Turn the ignition key to the LOCK position and then remove the key from the ignition.
(3) Open only the driver's door, and close all the other doors, as well as the hood and the rear hatch.
(4) Lock the driver's door by the keyless lock method.
(5) All doors will then be locked, and the SECURITY light (within the combination meter) will illuminate;
check to be sure that illumination stops in about 20 seconds.
(6) After about two seconds have passed after the SECURITY light illumination stopped, reach through
the window of the driver's door, pull up the lock lever to unlock the door, and then open the door.
(7) Check to be sure that, when the door is opened, the horn starts sounding and the headlights flash on
and off.
(8) To stop the alarm, insert the key into the door's key cylinder and turn the key to the unlock position.
NOTE
To check the alarm for the opening of the rear hatch or hood, open the rear hatch (or the hood) by
using the remote rear hatch release lever (or the hood release lever), located at the driver's seat side
either before the alarm is activated by the opening of a door, or after the finish of the first three-minute
alarm.
