Security system (if equipped)
The security system helps to protect your vehicle and
valuables from theft. The horn sounds and the turn
signal lights flash if someone attempts to break into
your vehicle. The starter motor is also interrupted to
prevent starting the vehicle without a key.
The system can be armed and disarmed with the re-
mote transmitter.
The system does not operate when the key is inserted
into the ignition switch. „System operation
The security system will give the following alarm indi-
cations when triggered: y The turn signal lights will flash and the horn will
sound intermittently. In addition, the starter motor will
not operate. y The alarm automatically resets after 30 seconds;
however, the alarm will reactivate if the vehicle is tam-
pered with again. The alarm will continue for six times
if any sensor continues to be activated.
The alarm is triggered by: y Opening a door, the rear gate or trunk lid.
y Application of physical shock to the vehicle (e.g. breaking glass or forced entry). Note that there are two
alarm levels for shock: warning and alarm. In warning
mode, the alarm detects lower level vibrations and
triggers 2 warning chirps on the horn and two flashes
on the lights as a deterrent to would be vandals. In
alarm mode, higher levels of shock are detected and
the system will go into full alarm. y
Ignition switch being turned on while in armed state.
NOTE
With the valet mode selected, the security system
does not operate and the parking lights do not
flash when the remote transmitter is used for lock-
ing and unlocking.
The security system indicator light in the combi-
nation meter flashes twice per second to show
that the valet mode is selected.
For details, refer to “Valet mode” in this section. „ Arming the system
T To arm the system using remote transmitter
1. Close all windows and moonroofs (if so equipped).
2. Remove the key from the ignition switch.
3. Open the doors and get out of the vehicle.
4. Make sure that the engine hood (and the trunk lid)
are locked.

TTo arm the system using power door locking
switches
1. Close all windows and moonroofs (if so equipped).
2. Remove the key from the ignition switch.
3. Open the doors and get out of the vehicle.
4. Make sure that the engine hood (and the trunk lid)
is locked.
5. Close the doors (and the rear gate on the station
wagon) but leave only the driver’s door or the front
passenger’s door open.
6. Push the power door locking switch forward
(“LOCK” side) to set the door locks.
7. Close the door. An electronic chirp will sound one
time, the turn signal lights will flash one time and the indicator light will start flashing slowly (approximately
once every two seconds) to inform you that the systemhas armed.
NOTE
The system can be armed even if the engine hood,
the windows and/or moonroofs are opened. Al-
ways make sure that they are fully closed before
arming the system. „
Disarming the system

tion wagon), briefly press the “UNLOCK/DISARM” but-
ton a second time. T Emergency disarming

the rear gate by pulling on the recessed grip
from inside the cargo space. There is a danger
of your hand being caught and injured.
Do not jam a plastic bag in or place cellophane
tape on the rear gate stays or scratch the stays
while loading or unloading cargo. That could
cause leakage of gas from the stays, which may
result in their inability to hold the rear gate
open.
Moonroof (if equipped)
Never let anyone’s hands, arms, head or any
objects protrude from the moonroof. A person
could be seriously injured if the vehicle stops
suddenly or turns sharply or if the vehicle is in-
volved in an accident.
To avoid serious personal injury caused by en-
trapment, you must do the followings. y
Before closing the moonroof, make sure that
no one’s hands, arms, head or other objects
will be accidentally caught in the moonroof. y Before leaving the vehicle, always remove
the key from the ignition switch for safety and
never allow an unattended child to remain in
the vehicle. Failure to follow this procedure
could result in injury to a child operating the
moonroof.
y Do not sit on the edge of the open moonroof.
y Do not operate the moonroof if falling snow

„ Tilting/sliding moonroof (Sedan)
The moonroof has both tilting and sliding functions.
The moonroof operates only when the ignition switch
is in the “ON” position.
1) Open/Close switch
2) Tilt switch
T To raise or lower the moonroof
The tilting function will only operate when the moon-
roof is fully closed. Push the rear side of the “Tilt” switch to raise the
moonroof.
Push the front side of the “Tilt” switch to lower the
moonroof.
Release the switch after the moonroof has been
raised or has been lowered completely. Pushing the
switch continuously may cause damage to the moon- roof. T
To open or close the moonroof
Push the “Open/Close” switch rearward to open the
moonroof. The sun shade will be also opened together
with the moonroof. Push the “Open/Close” switch forward to close the
moonroof. The moonroof will stop halfway if you con-
tinue to press on the switch.
Release the switch once and push it again to close the
moonroof completely.
After washing the vehicle or after it rains, wipe away
water on the roof prior to opening the moonroof to pre-
vent water drops from falling into the passenger com- partment.
NOTE
If the moonroof cannot be closed through the
switch operation because of system failure, it can
be closed manually using a hex-headed wrench.
