Features of your vehicle

This system is designed to provide
protection from unauthorized entry
into the vehicle. This system is oper-
ated in three stages: the first is the
"Armed" stage, the second is the
"Theft-alarm" stage, and the third is
the "Disarmed" stage. If triggered,
the system provides an audible
alarm with blinking of the hazard
warning lights.

Armed stage

Park the vehicle and stop the engine.
Arm the system as described below.
1. Remove the ignition key from the

ignition switch and exit the vehicle.

2. Make sure that all doors (and lift-

gate (tailgate)) and engine hood
are closed and latched.

3. Lock the doors using the transmit-

ter of the keyless entry system (or
smart key) or ignition key.

After completion of the steps above,
the hazard warning lights will blink
(for smart key, the chime also
sounds) once to indicate that the
system is armed.

If any door (or liftgate (tailgate)) or
engine hood remains open, the haz-
ard warning lights and the chime will
not operate and the theft-alarm will
not arm. If all doors (and liftgate (tail-
gate)) and engine hood are closed
after the lock button is pressed, the
hazard warning lights blink once.
The system can also be armed by
locking the doors with the key from
the front doors; however, the hazard
warning lights will not blink using this
method.

warning lights will blink continuously
for approximately 27 seconds, and
repeat the horn 3 times unless the
system is disarmed. To turn off the
system, unlock the doors with the igni-
tion key or transmitter (or smart key).

The system will be disarmed when
• The doors (and liftgate (tailgate))

are unlocked with the transmitter
(or smart key) or the ignition key.

• Pull the power sliding door out han-

dle while the power door ON/OFF
button is ON (not depressed).

After depressing the unlock button,

opened within 30 seconds, the sys-
tem will be rearmed.

is forced by strong impact, the auto-
matic stop and reversal may operate.
If the automatic stop and reversal
