How to stop the alarm
Checking whether the alarm has been
triggered during parking
• To prevent the alarm from being acciden-
tally triggered, avoid arming it while any-
one remains inside the vehicle. The
alarm will be triggered if any person
inside unlocks a door by operating the
lock lever or power door locking switch.
• The theft deterrent alarm system is not
armed when all doors are locked using
the key from outside, or using the door
lock levers or the power door locking
switch from inside.
Should the alarm be triggered accidentally,
press the engine switch to change the igni-
tion mode to “ON” or turn the ignition
switch to “ON” position. The alarm will then
stop.
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.
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 any of the doors is not operated within
approximately 30 seconds after the
doors have been unlocked using the key-
less push start system remote controller,
the request switch or the keyless entry
system transmitter, the doors are auto-
matically locked again. At the same time,
the theft deterrent alarm system is
armed if the system is in the enabled
state.
Enabling and disabling the theft deter-
rent alarm system
The theft deterrent alarm system can be
either “enabled” or “disabled”.
• If you disconnect the 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 battery is then
reconnected, although, in the latter case,
the alarm remains stopped for the period
between disconnection and reconnec-
tion of the battery.
• Even after the alarm has stopped at the
end of the predetermined operation time,
it will be triggered again if any door is
opened without disarming the theft
deterrent alarm system.
When enabled (factory setting)
When the system is enabled, it causes the
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.
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.
The theft deterrent light continues to blink
during this time.
When disabled
When the system is disabled, it stays dis-
armed even if you perform any system
arming operation.
