Testing the Alarm To test the alarm, do the following: 1. Open all the windows. 2. Set the system as described in the previous procedure. The doors and liftgate should be locked with the key or remote keyless entry transmitter. Be sure to wait until the indicator light starts flashing. 3. Unlock the driver's door from the inside. The system should activate the alarm. 4. Stop the alarm as described in the disarming procedure following. 5. Repeat this operation for the other doors. Also check that the system is activated when the battery terminal is disconnected and then reconnected. If the system does not work properly, have it checked by your dealer. How the System Alarm is Activated The system will activate the alarm under the following conditions: • If the driver's or front passenger's door is unlocked or if any of the other doors or the liftgate is forcibly opened without the key or remote keyless entry transmitter. • If the battery terminal is disconnected and then reconnected. • If the ignition is hot-wired. • If the side window glass is broken or damaged. The indicator light will come on when the system is activated. If the driver's or front passenger's doors are unlocked without using the key or remote keyless entry transmitter, the other doors and the liftgate will be automatically locked again. After one minute the alarm will automatically stop and the indicator light will start flashing again. 101
