The security system helps to protect
your vehicle and valuables from theft.
The horn sounds and a combination
of headlights, parking lights, side
marker lights and taillights flashes if
someone attempts to break into your
vehicle or remove the audio unit.
This alarm continues for two
minutes, then the system resets. To
deactivate the system before the two
minutes have elapsed, unlock the
driver's door with the key or the
remote transmitter.
The security system sets
automatically 15 seconds after you
lock the doors, hood, and the hatch.
For the system to activate, you must
lock the doors and the hatch from
the outside with the key, or use
driver's lock tab, door lock master
switch, or remote transmitter. The
security system indicator on the
instrument panel starts blinking
immediately to show you the system
is setting itself.
SECURITY SYSTEM INDICATOR
Once the security system is sets,
opening any door, the hatch, or the
hood without using the key or the
remote transmitter, will cause the
alarm to activate. It also activates if
the audio unit is removed from the
dashboard or the wiring is cut.
The alarm also activates if a
passenger inside the locked vehicle
turns the ignition switch on.
Security System
The security system does not set if
the hood, hatch, or any door is not
fully closed. If the system will not set,
check the door and hatch open
indicator on the instrument panel
and multi-information display (see
page 12 ) to see if the doors and
hatch are fully closed. Since it is not
part of the monitor display, manually
check the hood.
To see if the system is set
NOTE:
after you exit the vehicle, press the
LOCK button on the remote
transmitter within five seconds. If
the system is set, the horn will beep
once.
Do not attempt to alter this system
or add other devices to it.
