theft. The horn sound s and the p arking lig hts flash if someone attemp ts
to b reak into your vehic le. The starter motor is al so interrup ted to p revent
starting the vehic le without a key.
The system c an b e armed and d isarmed with the remot e transmitter.
The system d oes not op erate when the key is inserte d into the ig nition
switc h.
System operation
The sec urity system will g ive the following alarm i nd ic ations when trig -
g ered : The p arking lig hts will flash and the horn will sou nd intermittently.
In ad d ition, the starter motor will not op erate. The alarm automatic ally resets after 30 sec ond s; ho wever, the
alarm will reac tivate if the vehic le is tamp ered wi th ag ain. The alarm
will c ontinue for twelve times if any sensor c ontin ues to b e ac tivated .
The alarm is trig g ered b y: Op ening a d oor, the rear g ate or trunk lid .
Ap p lic ation of p hysic al shoc k to the vehic le (e.g . b reaking g lass or
forc ed entry). Note that there are two alarm levels for shoc k: warning
and alarm. In warning mod e, the alarm d etec ts lower level vib rations
and trig g ers 2 warning c hirp s on the horn and two f lashes on the
lig hts as a d eterrent to would b e vand als. In alarm mod e, hig her lev-
els of shoc k are d etec ted and the system will g o in to full alarm.
Ig nition switc h b eing turned on while in armed stat e.

2-16To unloc k all d oors (and the rear g ate on the stati
on wag on), b riefly
p ress the “UNLOCK/DISARM ” b utton a sec ond time.
n Emergency disarming
If you c annot d isarm the system using the transmitt er (i.e. the trans-
mitter is lost, b roken or the transmitter b attery i s too weak), you c an
d isarm the system without using the transmitter.
To d isarm the system:
1. Unloc k the d oor with the key and then op en the d o or.
2. The alarm will sound .
3. Insert the key into the ig nition switc h and c yc le it from the “LOCK ”
to the “ON ” p osition three (3) times within 5 seconds.
Sounding a panic alarm
To ac tivate the alarm, keep the “LOCK/ARM ” b utton p ressed for more
than two seconds .
To d eac tivate it, p ress the “LOCK/ARM ” b utton or “UNLOCK/DISARM ”
b utton.
The p arking lig hts will also flash when the alarm i s ac tivated .
Unless a b utton on the remote is p ressed , the alarm will b e d eac ti-
vated after ap p roximately 30 sec ond s. Valet mode
When you c hoose the valet mod e, the sec urity system d oes not op er-
ate. In valet mod e, the remote transmitter is used only for loc king and
unloc king the d oors (and rear g ate on the station w ag on) and p anic
ac tivation.
To enter the valet mod e, op en the d river ’s d oor and keep the
“ UNLOCK/DISARM ” b utton d ep ressed for more than two seconds .
The ind ic ator lig ht rep eated ly flashes two times wh ile the system is in
valet mod e.
To exit valet mod e, op en the d river ’s d oor and keep the “UNLOCK/
DISARM ” b utton p ressed for more than two seconds. The ind ic ator

Disarming the system
To d isarm the system, b riefly p ress the “UNLOCK/DISARM ” b utton on
the transmitter. Tripped sensor identification
If the horn sound s four times and the p arking lig ht s flash four times
when you d isarm the system, this ind ic ates that the alarm was trig -
g ered . The numb er of times the ind ic ator lig ht flas hes ind ic ates what
sensor c aused the alarm c ond ition.
To enter id entific ation mod e:
1. Op en the d river ’s d oor and leave it op en.
2. Turn the ig nition switc h to the “ON ” p osition two times. ( “LOCK ” 
“ ON ”  “ LOCK ”  “ ON ”  “ LOCK ”)
3. The ind ic ator lig ht will start flashing .
The ind ic ator lig ht p rovid es the following ind ic ati ons.
Flashing one time: Any d oor, the rear g ate or the trunk lid has b een
op ened .
Flashing three times: The imp ac t sensor in the system ’s unit has
b een ac tivated . This may ind ic ate that your vehic le has b een shoc ked
or tamp ered with b y some outsid e forc e and /or unaut horized p erson.
Flashing four times: The ig nition switc h has b een turned on.
To exit this mod e, c lose the d oor and turn the ig ni tion switc h to the
“ ON ” p osition.

ind ic ator lig ht will flash on and off when this sys
tem ac tivates.
NOTE Slight twitching of the brake pedal may be felt when the VDC-sys-
tem operates; a small degree of vehicle or steering wheel shaking may also be noticed in this situation. These are normal effects of
VDC operation and are no cause for alarm. When driving off immediately after starting the engine, a short-
lived operation noise may be noticed coming from the enginecompartment. This noise is generated as a result of a check beingperformed on the VDC system and is normal. Depending on the timing of activation of the brakes, certain situa-
tions may occur just after driving off where the brake pedal seemsto exhibit a jolting motion. This too is a consequence of the VDCoperational check and is normal. Activation of the VDC system will cause operation of the steering
wheel to feel slightly different compared to that for normal condi-tions. Even if the vehicle is equipped with a VDC system, it is important
that winter tires be used when driving on snow-covered or icyroads. (All four wheels should be fitted with tires of the same sizeand brand). Furthermore, if snow chains are to be used, they shouldbe fitted on the front wheels. When a vehicle is fitted with snow
chains, however, the effectiveness of the VDC system is reduced
and this should be taken into account when driving the vehicle insuch a condition. It is always important to reduce speed when approaching a cor-
ner, even if the vehicle is equipped with VDC. All four wheels should be fitted with tires of the same size, type,
and brand; furthermore, the amount of wear should be the same for
all four tires. If these precautions are not observed and non-match-ing tires are used, it is quite possible that the VDC system will beunable to operate correctly as intended. Always turn off the engine before replacing a tire as failure to do
so may render the VDC system unable to operate correctly.
