THEFT DETERRENT THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM To deter theft of the vehicle, this system is designed to sound an alarm if any of the doors, trunk or hood is forcibly unlocked or the battery terminal is disconnected and then reconnected while the vehicle is locked. The alarm blows the horn intermittently, flashes the headlights, tail lights, turn signal lights and other exterior lights, and illuminates the interior lights. After the alarm is activated, when you unlock any door or the trunk using an ignition key or wireless remote control, the tail lights turn on for about 2 seconds to inform you that the system was activated. Setting the system 1. Turn the ignition key to the "LOCK" position and remove it. The engine immobiliser system causes the indicator light flash. 2. Close and lock all the doors, trunk and hood using an ignition key or wireless remote control. If you lock them with the wireless remote control, the turn signals flash once.* NOTE: *The turn signals can be set not to flash. Ask your Lexus dealer for details. The flashing indicator light will remain on when all the doors, trunk and hood are closed and locked. 3. After 30 seconds, the indicator flashes and the system is set. 17L005a Cancelling the system When you unlock any door or trunk using an ignition key or wireless remote control, the system is cancelled.
