SECURITY SYSTEM
Security and Locks
4. Security System
A: FEATURES
0
The security system protects the vehicle from a theft action (unauthorized entry into the vehicle).
Upon detection of such an action, it gives audible and visible alarms by causing the horn to sound
and the parking lights to flash. It also immobilizes the vehicle by disabling the starter circuit.
0
Unauthorized entry is monitored through the switches on the doors, rear gate and trunk lid. If
one of the switches is turned ON, the system interprets it as an attempt of unauthorized entry and
gives alarms while disabling the starter circuit.
0
Unauthorized entry
is
also monitored by the impact sensor. The system operates in the same
manner as mentioned above whenever the sensor senses an abnormal impact on the vehicle.
1. ALARMS
0
When activated, the security system causes the parking lights to flash and the horn to sound
intermittently. In addition, the security indicator light on combination meter flashes fast and the
starter motor circuit is disabled.
0
The alarms automatically turn OFF after 30 seconds. However, they will be reactivated if the ve-
hicle is tampered with again.
0
The alarms are activated when a door, rear gate or trunk lid is opened without using the keyless
entry transmitter. (When the system is armed, the alarms will be triggered even if a door is opened
by releasing the inside door handle or the trunk lid is opened by operating the trunk lid release
I ever. )
0
They are also activated when an impact on vehicle body is sensed.
2. HOW TO ARM THE SYSTEM
1) Remove the key from the ignition switch.
2) Make sure that the trunk lid is closed
3) Close all the windows. Close and lock all the doors and rear gate.
4) Push the transmitter's LOCK button.
5) The horn will chirp once and the parking lights will flash once.
NOTE:
The system can be armed even if the windows are open.
6) Confirm that the security indicator light blinks slowly (once every two seconds). If any of the
doors, rear gate or trunk lid is not properly closed, the system warns the driver of this by causing
the horn to chirp three times, the parking lights to flash three times, and the security indicator to
flash rapidly. When the door, rear gate or trunk lid is closed, it will be automatically locked and the
security system starts working. The indicator light blinks every two seconds when the system is
armed and continues to blink until the system is disarmed.
