opening either door without using

The security system helps to protect
your vehicle and valuables f rom thef t.

of headlights, parking lights, side

alarm continues f or 2 minutes, then
the system resets. To reset an
alarming system bef ore the 2

The security system automatically
sets 15 seconds after you lock the
doors, hood, and trunk. For the
system to activate, you must lock the
doors f rom the outside with the key,

transmitter. The security system
indicator on the instrument panel
starts blinking immediately to show

the hood, trunk, or either door is not
f ully closed. If the system will not set,
check the door and trunk open
indicators on the instrument panel
(see page ), to see if the doors
and the trunk are f ully closed. Since

manually check the hood.
Use the remote transmitter
to quickly check that the hood, the
trunk, and both doors are closed.
Push the lock button twice within 5
seconds. There should be an audible
conf irmation beep.
Do not attempt to alter this system
or add other devices to it.
With the system set, you can still
open the trunk with the master key
(U.S. LX model) or the remote
transmitter (U.S. EX, EX-L and Si
models) without triggering the alarm. The alarm will sound if the trunk
lock is f orced, or the trunk is opened
with the trunk release handle or the
