Security System The security system helps to protect your vehicle and valuables from theft. The horn sounds and a combination of headlights, parking lights, side marker lights and taillights flashes if someone attempts to break into your vehicle or remove the audio unit. This alarm continues for two minutes, then the system resets. To deactivate the system before the two minutes have elapsed, unlock the driver's door with the key or use the remote transmitter/keyless access remote. On models with keyless access system Once the security system sets, opening any door, the trunk, or hood without using the key or the remote transmitter/keyless access remote, will cause the alarm to activate. It also activates if the ignition switch is turned to the ON (II) position, the audio unit is removed from the dashboard, or the wiring is cut. SECURITY SYSTEM INDICATOR A/T model is shown. Features On models with keyless access system You can also deactivate the system by grabbing either front door handle while carrying the keyless access remote to unlock the door. The security system automatically sets 15 seconds after you lock the doors, hood, and trunk. For the system to activate, you must lock the doors from the outside with the key, or use driver's lock tab, master door lock switch, or remote transmitter (keyless access remote on models with keyless access system). The security system indicator on the instrument panel starts blinking immediately to show you the system is setting itself. You can also set the security system by pressing the lock button on either front door handle while carrying the keyless access remote. : Models equipped with the keyless access system have an engine start/ stop button instead of an ignition switch. ON Mode is the equivalent of ON (II). For more information, see pages 184 and 187 . CONTINUED 2013 TL 395
