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.
