Alarm stage
The alarm will be activated if any of
the following occurs while the system
is armed.
• A front or rear door is opened with-
out using the ignition key or trans-
mitter.
• The rear hatch/window is opened
without using the ignition key or
transmitter.
• The engine hood is opened.
The siren will sound and the hazard
warning lights will blink continuously
for 27 seconds, and repeat the alarm
3 times unless the system is dis-
armed. To turn off the system, unlock
the doors with the ignition key or
transmitter.
✽
NOTICE
Avoid trying to start the engine
while the alarm is activated. The
vehicle starting motor is disabled
during the alarm stage.
Disarmed stage
The system will be disarmed when
the doors are unlocked by depress-
ing the unlock button on the transmit-
ter or unlocked with the ignition key.
After depressing unlock button, the
hazard warning lights will blink twice
to indicate that the system is dis-
armed.
After depressing unlock button, if any
door is not opened within 30 sec-
onds, the system will be rearmed.
If the system is not disarmed with the
ignition key or transmitter, insert the
key in the ignition switch, turn the key
to the ON position and wait for 30
seconds. Then the system will be dis-
armed.Your vehicle is equipped with an elec-
tronic engine immobilizer system to
reduce the risk of unauthorized vehi-
cle use.
Your immobilizer system is comprised
of a small transponder in the ignition
key, and antenna coil in the key cylin-
der and Immobilizer Control Unit (or
Smartra Unit).
With this system, whenever you insert
your ignition key into the ignition
switch and turn it to ON, the antenna
coil in the ignition switch receives a
signal from the transponder in the
ignition key and then sends the signal
to the ECU (Engine Control Unit).
The ECU checks the signal whether
the ignition key is valid.
If the key is determined to be valid,
the engine will start.
If the key is determined to be invalid,
the engine will not start.

Electric type (if equipped)
The electric day/night rearview mir-
ror automatically controls the glare
from the headlights of the car behind
you in nighttime or low light driving
conditions. The sensor mounted in
the mirror senses the light level
around the vehicle, and through a
chemical reaction, automatically
controls the headlight glare from
vehicles behind you.
When the engine is running, the
glare is automatically controlled by
the sensor mounted in the rearview
mirror.
Whenever the shift lever is shifted
into reverse (R), the mirror will auto-
matically go to the brightest setting in
order to improve the drivers view
behind the vehicle.
✽
NOTICE
When cleaning the mirror, use a
paper towel or similar material
dampened with glass cleaner. Do not
spray glass cleaner directly on the
