above the two hood locks. Make sure the
hood is locked securely.

is not securely locked, stop the vehicle at
once and close the hood.
CAUTION

not to get your hands caught between
the hood and the vehicle body.
NOTICE
Do not press hard on the hood except
above the hood locks, or you maydeform the hood.
Theft deterrent system
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, back door or hood is
forcibly unlocked or the battery termi-
nal 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 and remove it.
2. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle.
3. Close and lock all the side doors, back door and hood.
The indicator light will come on when all
the side doors, back door and hood are
closed and locked.
As the side doors are locked, the system
will give you a preparation time of 30
seconds before the setting, during which
the side doors, back door and hood may
be opened to prepare for the setting. Be careful not to use the key when open-
ing any side door. This will cancel the
system.
4. After making sure the indicator light starts flashing, you may leave the ve-
hicle.
The system will automatically be set after
the preparation time passes. The indicator
light will flash to show the system is set.
If any of the side doors, back door or
hood is open at that time, the setting 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.

the starter circuit under the following
conditions: If any of the side doors, back door or
hood is unlocked without using the key

cally stop with the starter circuit cut kept on. Reactivating the alarm
Once set, the system automatically resets
the alarm each time all the side doors,
back door and hood are closed after the
alarm stops.

the following conditions:

Interrupting the setting
With the system set, the back door can
be opened by using the key without set-
ting off the system. While the back door

side doors and hood may be opened in
addition. However, when the battery termi-
nal is disconnected and then reconnected,
the system is activated.
