locked or the battery terminal is discon-

nected and then reconnected when the

vehicle is locked.

SETTING THE SYSTEM

1. Turn the ignition key to the “LOCK”

position and remove it.

Before closing the hood, check to see that

you have not forgotten any tools, rags,

etc. Then lower the hood and make sure

it locks into place. If necessary, press

down gently on the front edge to lock it.

The indicator light will start flashing when

the key is removed from the ignition

switch. (See “Engine immobiliser system”

for details.)

The alarm blows the horn intermittently

interior light.

2. Have all passengers get out of the

vehicle.

3. Close and lock all the doors, trunk and

hood.

The indicator light will remain on when all
