Theft-alarm system (For Brazil)

inclination of the vehicle after locking.
•To cancel the sensor operation,
press the sensor ON/OFF button
when the system is in the
"Disarmed" stage and the ignition
switch or Engine Star t/Stop button
is in the OFF position. The button
light will turn on to indicate that the

the ignition switch or Engine
Start/Stop button to the ON position,

sor is in the OFF status, the intru-
sion/tilt sensor will not operate. But,
the alarm will be activated when the
system meets the “intrusion/tilt sen-
sor off condition” of “Theft alarm”
stage. Refer to the follow page.
Deactivate the intrusion/tilt sensor
if there are any chances the vehicle
tilts by the outward influences.

train, boat or trailer.
-When the vehicle is parked at a
parking tower.
Otherwise, the horn may sound inad-
ver tently.

while the sensor operates. If not, the
sensor detects the inadvertent move-
ment inside the vehicle (for example,
blowing a wind or entering a butter-
fly) and it makes the horn sounds.
• If boxes are piled high in the vehicle,
the sensor may not detect the move-
ment behind the boxes. Also the
boxes may drop and it makes the
horn sounds.
