How to disarm the theft deterrent alarm
system
Simply unlock the doors using the keyless
push start system remote controller, the
request switch or the keyless entry system
transmitter. The theft deterrent light will go
out, indicating that the theft deterrent alarm
system is disarmed.
How to stop the alarm
Should the alarm be triggered accidentally,
unlock the doors using the keyless push
start system remote controller, the request
switch or the keyless entry system trans-
mitter, or press the engine switch to
change the ignition mode to "ON" or turn
the ignition switch to "ON" position. The
alarm will then stop.
NOTE:
• Even after the alarm has stopped, if you
lock the doors using the keyless push
start system remote controller, the
request switch or the keyless entry sys-
tem transmitter, the theft deterrent alarm
system will be rearmed with a delay of
about 20 seconds.
• If you disconnect the lead-acid battery
while the theft deterrent alarm system is
in the armed condition or the alarm is
actually in operation, the alarm will be
triggered or re-triggered when the lead-
acid battery is then
although, in the latter case, the alarm
remains stopped for the period between
disconnection and reconnection of the
lead-acid battery.
• Even after the alarm has stopped at the
end of the predetermined operation time,
it will be triggered again if any door or
engine hood (for EU specification vehi-
cle) is opened without disarming the
theft deterrent alarm system.
Checking whether the alarm has been
triggered during parking
If the alarm was triggered due to an unau-
thorized entry into the vehicle and you then
press the engine switch to change the igni-
tion mode to "ON" or turn the ignition
switch to "ON" position, the theft deterrent
light will blink rapidly for about 8 seconds
and a buzzer will beep 4 times during this
period. If this happens, check whether your
vehicle has been broken into while you
were away from it.
Enabling and disabling the theft deter-
rent alarm system (Except for EU speci-
fication vehicle)
The theft deterrent alarm system can be
either enabled or disabled.
When enabled (factory setting) (Except
for EU specification vehicle)
When the system is enabled, it causes the
reconnected, hazard warning lights to flash for about 40
seconds if any of the alarm trigger condi-
tions is met. The system also causes the
interior buzzer to beep intermittently for
about 10 seconds, which is followed by
intermittent sounding of the horn for about
30 seconds.
The theft deterrent light continues to blink
during this time.
