Theft Deterrent System
■Engine immobilizer system
The engine immobilizer system prevents the
engine from being started if an unregistered key
is used.
■Alarm
When forcible entry is detected, the alarm
attracts attention to the vehicle by sounding the
horn and flashing the exterior lights.
When all the doors are locked, the security indi-
cator light comes on and begins to flash after
approximately 30 seconds to indicate that the
theft deterrent system is armed.
■Steering lock
The steering lock is engaged when the ignition
key is turned to the “LOCK” position.
The theft deterrent system includes the following features to help protect your vehicle from
theft.
To stop the alarm, start the engine or unlock the doors using the ignition key or wireless
remote control. (The alarm will stop after several seconds.)
