THEFT DETERRENT THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM To deter theft of the vehicle, this system is designed to sound an alarm and keep the engine from being started if any door is opened while the system is armed. An alarm will also sound if window glass is broken or if power to the system is interrupted then restored while it is armed. When triggered, the vehicle's horn sounds and the exterior and interior lights flash in a unique pattern. Perhaps more importantly, the vehicle's starter is disabled at the same time, preventing engine start. Arming the system 1. Turn the ignition key to the "LOCK" position and remove it. (The system will not arm it the key is left in the ignition switch.) 2. Exit the vehicle and close all of the doors. (The system will not arm if any door is open.) 3. Push the transmitter's top button. At the same time the "Theft deterrent system" arms, the doors will lock, the tail and marker lights will flash once, and the buzzer will "chirp" once.* Also, the vehicle's interior lights will come on for 3 seconds**, and the status monitor's LED will begin to flash steadily. After using the transmitter to arm the system and lock the doors, you must use it to unlock the doors and disarm the system. Otherwise, the system will be triggered and an alarm will sound. Note: Manually locking the doors by key outside the vehicle will not cause the "Theft deterrent system" to arm. The "Theft deterrent system" can only be armed and disarmed using the transmitter. 4. After confirming that the system is armed (tail and marker lights flash once the buzzer "chirps" once), you may depart from the vehicle. Never leave anyone inside the vehicle when you arm the system, because opening a door will cause the alarm to sound. * If a door is open when you push the transmitter's top button the "Theft deterrent system" will not arm (and the doors will not lock). Instead, the buzzer will sound for up to 10 seconds or until the open door is closed securely. ** So long as the interior light switch is set to the "DOOR" position. 84

THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM
To deter theft of the vehicle, this system is designed to
sound an alarm and keep the engine from being started
if any door is opened while the system is armed. An
alarm will also sound if window glass is broken or if
power to the system is interrupted then restored while
it is armed.
When triggered, the vehicle’s horn sounds and the exterior
and interior lights flash in a unique pattern. Perhaps more
importantly, the vehicle’s starter is disabled at the same time,
preventing engine start.
Arming the system
1.
Turn the ignition key to the “LOCK” position and
remove it. (The system will not arm it the key is left in the
ignition switch.)
2.
Exit the vehicle and close all of the doors. (The
system will not arm if any door is open.)
3.
Push the transmitter’s top button.
At the same time the “Theft deterrent system” arms, the
doors will lock, the tail and marker lights will flash once, and
the buzzer will “chirp” once.* Also, the vehicle’s interior lights
will come on for 3 seconds**, and the status monitor’s LED
will begin to flash steadily.
After using the transmitter to arm the system and lock the
doors, you must use it to unlock the doors and disarm the
system. Otherwise, the system will be triggered and an
alarm will sound.
Note:
Manually locking the doors by key outside the
vehicle will not cause the “Theft deterrent system” to
arm. The “Theft deterrent system” can only be armed
and disarmed using the transmitter.
4.
After confirming that the system is armed (tail and
marker lights flash once the buzzer “chirps” once), you
may depart from the vehicle.
Never leave anyone inside the vehicle when you arm the
system, because opening a door will cause the alarm to
sound.
*
If a door is open when you push the transmitter’s top
button the “Theft deterrent system” will not arm (and the
doors will not lock). Instead, the buzzer will sound for up to
10 seconds or until the open door is closed securely.
**
So long as the interior light switch is set to the “DOOR”
position.
