light for 1 second and then flash as follows:
When a door or rear gate (Station
wagon) was opened: 5 times

4 times
Whenastrongimpactormultiple
impacts were sensed: twice (only
vehicles with shock sensors (dealeroption))
When a light impact was sensed: once
(only vehicles with shock sensors
(dealer option))
& Shock sensors (dealer op- tion)
The shock sensors trigger the alarm
system when they sense impacts applied
to the vehicle and when any of their
electric wires is cut. The alarm system
causes the horn to sound and the turn
signal lights to flash for a short time when
the sensed impact is weak, but it warns of
