Security indicator light (Theft warn-
ing)
The security indicator light is located on the
instrument panel near the windshield.
The security indicator light shows the status
of the theft warning system.
The light operates whenever the ignition
switch is in the LOCK, OFF, or ACC posi-
tion.
The theft warning system has four phases.
For each phase the operation of the security
indicator light is different.

tem

armed even if the windows are open).
2. Remove the key from the ignition switch.
3. Close the hood, trunk lid and all doors.
Lock all doors. The doors can be locked
with the key or with the multi-remote
controller.

cPush the LOCK button on the multi-
remote controller. All doors lock. The
hazard lights flash twice and the horn
beeps once to indicate all doors are
locked.
cWhen the LOCK button is pushed with
all doors locked, the hazard lights
flash twice and the horn beeps once
as a reminder that the doors are al-
ready locked.

system is now pre-armed. After about 30
seconds the theft warning system auto-
matically shifts into the armed phase. The
SECURITY light begins to flash once ev-
ery three seconds. If, during the 30-
second pre-arm time period, the door is
unlocked by the key or the multi-remote
controller, or the ignition key is turned to
ACC or ON, the system will not arm.
cIf the key is turned slowly when lock-
ing the door, the system may not arm.
Furthermore, if the key is turned ex-
cessively to the unlock position, the
system may be disarmed when the key
is removed. If the indicator light fails to
glow for 30 seconds, unlock the door
once and lock it again.
cEven when the driver and/or passen-
gers are in the vehicle, the system will
arm with all doors, hood and trunk lid
closed and locked with the ignition
key in the OFF position.
Theft warning system activation
The theft warning system will give the fol-
lowing alarm:
cThe headlights blink and the horn sounds
intermittently.cThe alarm automatically turns off after
about 50 seconds. However, the alarm
reactivates if the vehicle is tampered with
again. The alarm can be shut off by
unlocking a door or trunk lid with the key,
or by pressing the UNLOCK button on
the multi-remote controller.
The alarm is activated by:
copening the door or trunk lid without
using the key or multi-remote controller
(even if the door is unlocked by releasing
the door inside lock switch) or opening
the trunk lid by operating the opener
lever.
copening the hood.

ler. The instructions are on the back of the
multi-remote controller.
