alarm TOYOTA COROLLA 1996 Owners Manual

15
To deter the vehicle theft, the system is
designed to give an alarm and keep the
engine from being started if any of the
side doors, trunk lid, back door or hood
is forcibly unlocked or the battery ter-
minal is disconnected and then recon-
nected when the vehicle is locked.
The alarm blows the horn intermittently
and flashes the headlights, tail lights and
other exterior lights. The engine cannot
be started because the starter circuit will
be cut.SETTING THE SYSTEM
1. Turn the ignition key to the ºLOCKº
position.
2. Have all passengers get out of the ve-
hicle.
3. Close and lock all the side doors, trunk
lid, back door and hood.
The indicator light will come on when all
the side doors, trunk lid, back door and
hood are closed and locked.
As the side doors are locked, the system
will give you a preparation time of 30 se-
conds before the setting, during which the
side doors, trunk lid, back door and hood
may be opened to prepare for the setting.
Be careful not to use the key when open-
ing either front door. This will cancel the
system.

4. After making sure the indicator light
starts flashing, you may leave the vehicle.
The system will automatically be set after
the preparation time passes. The indica-
tor light will flash to show the system is
set. If any of the side doors, trunk lid, back
door or hood is open at that time, the set-
ting is interrupted until it is closed and
locked.
Never leave anyone in the vehicle when
you set the system, because unlocking
from the inside will activate the system.
