Theft deterrent system To deter the vehicle theft, the system is designed to give an alarm and keep the engine from being started if any of the side doors, trunk lid, back door or hood is forcibly unlocked or the battery terminal is disconnected and then reconnected when the vehicle is locked. The alarm blows the horn intermittently and flashes the headlights, tail lights and other exterior lights. The engine cannot be started because the starter circuit will be cut. SETTING THE SYSTEM 1. Turn the ignition key to the "LOCK" position. 2. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle. 3. Close and lock all the side doors, trunk lid, back door and hood. The indicator light will come on when all the side doors, trunk lid, back door and hood are closed and locked. As the side doors are locked, the system will give you a preparation time of 30 seconds before the setting, during which the side doors, trunk lid, back door and hood may be opened to prepare for the setting. Be careful not to use the key when opening either front door. This will cancel the system. 15
