2. In front of the vehicle, pull up the
auxiliary catch lever and lift the
hood.
3. Hold the hood open by inserting the
support rod into the slot.
To deter the vehicle theft, the system
is designed to give an alarm if any of
the side doors, back door or hood is
forcibly unlocked or opened or the bat-
tery terminal is disconnected and then
reconnected when the vehicle is locked.
Before closing the hood, check to see that
you have not forgotten any tools, rags,
etc. and return the support rod to its
clip—this prevents rattles. Then lower the
hood make sure it locks into place. If
necessary, press down gently on the front
edge to lock it.
The alarm blows the horn intermittently
and flashes the headlights and tail lights.
CAUTION
After inserting the support rod into
the slot, make sure the rod supports
the hood security from falling down
on to your head or body.
