Theft deterrent system Your Supra has two hood locks at the front edge of the hood. To close the hood, lower the hood until it is about 30 cm (12 in.) about the engine compartment and release it. if the hood is still not fully closed, press down on it above the two hood locks. Make sure the hood is locked securely. If you notice while driving that the hood is not locked, stop the vehicle at once and close the hood. ! CAUTION When closing the hood, be careful not to get your hands caught between the hood and the vehicle body. NOTICE Do not press hard on the hood except above the hood locks, or you may deform the hood. 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, 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. 13
