attempt is made to start the vehicle using an

unregistered key.

The security indicator light flashes to indicate that

the system is set.

The system sounds the alarm and flashes lights when forcible entry is detected.

To set the alarm: lock both side doors from outside the vehicle. The security indicator light

comes on to indicate that the alarm is in its preparation state. When the indicator light

begins to flash, the system is armed.

To deactivate or stop the alarm: turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to ACCESSORY

or IGNITION ON mode, or unlock the doors or trunk using the electronic key or the wire-

less remote control.

■ Steering lock

The steering wheel locks when the “ENGINE

START STOP” switch is OFF and the driver’s door

is opened.

When the steering lock cannot be released, the

green indicator light on the “ENGINE START

STOP” switch will flash and a message will be

shown on the multi-information display. To release

it, gently turn the wheel left or right while pressing

the “ENGINE START STOP” switch.

The theft deterrent system includes the following features to help protect your vehicle from

theft.
