* Some models.

If the theft deterrent system detects an inappropriate entry into the vehicle, which could result in the vehicle or its contents being stolen, the alarm alerts the surrounding area of an abnormality by sounding the horn and flashing the hazard warning lights.

Refer to Operation.

NOTE:
- The theft-deterrent system operates with the key or the keyless entry system transmitter.

- The system will not function unless it is properly armed. To properly secure the vehicle, always make sure all windows are completely closed and all doors and the trunk lid/liftgate are locked before leaving the vehicle. Remember to take your key and transmitter.

Operation

System triggering conditions

The horn sounds intermittently and the hazard warning lights flash for about 3 minutes when the system is triggered by any one of the following: - Forcing open a door, the hood or the trunk lid/liftgate.

- Opening a door by operating an inside door-lock knob.

- Opening the hood by operating the hood release handle.

If the system is triggered again, the lights and horn will activate until a door or the trunk lid is unlocked with the key or with the transmitter.

How to Arm the System
