Security system (if equipped)

The security system helps to protect your vehicle and
valuables from theft. The horn sounds and the turn
signal lights flash if someone attempts to break into
your vehicle. The starter motor is also interrupted to
prevent starting the vehicle without a key.
The system can be armed and disarmed with the re-
mote transmitter.
The system does not operate when the key is inserted
into the ignition switch.

System operation

The security system will give the following alarm indi-
cations when triggered:
The turn signal lights will flash and the horn will
sound intermittently. In addition, the starter motor will
not operate.
The alarm automatically resets after 30 seconds;
however, the alarm will reactivate if the vehicle is tam-
pered with again. The alarm will continue for six times
if any sensor continues to be activated.
The alarm is triggered by:
Opening a door.
Application of physical shock to the vehicle (e.g.
breaking glass or forced entry). Note that there are two
alarm levels for shock: warning and alarm. In warning
mode, the alarm detects lower level vibrations and
triggers 2 warning chirps on the horn and two flashes
on the lights as a deterrent to would be vandals. In
alarm mode, higher levels of shock are detected and
the system will go into full alarm.
Ignition switch being turned on while in armed state.
NOTE
The alarm will not be triggered by opening the
switchback door.
The alarm may not be triggered when the win-
dow is broken with a sharp-edged tool.
With the valet mode selected, the security sys-
tem does not operate and the turn signal lights do
not flash when the remote transmitter is used for
locking and unlocking.
The security system indicator light in the combi-
nation meter flashes twice per second to show
that the valet mode is selected.
For details, refer to "Valet mode" in this section.
