modified or if any add-on equipment has
been installed.

Theft-Deterrent System
í
The theft-deterrent system is designed to
prevent your vehicle or its contents from
being stolen when all the doors, the back
door and the bonnet are locked.
If forcible entry is attempted, the system
sounds the horn and flashes the hazard
warning lights.
The system will not function unless it's
properly armed. So when you leave the
vehicle, lock all the doors and the back
door, close all the windows, take your
key, and make sure the security indicator
light is flashing.
q
Operation
What turns it on:
l
Forcing open a door, the back door or
the bonnet.
l
Opening a door, the back door or the
bonnet by operating an inside door-
lock knob or the bonnet release handle.
What it does:

25 seconds and the hazard warning lights

If the system is triggered again after the

NOTE

deterrent system is armed, the horn will
