THEFT-ALARM SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
Vehicles equipped with a theft alarm
system will have a label attached to the
vehicle with the following words:
1. WARNING
2. SECURITY SYSTEM
This system is designed to provide pro‐
tection from unauthorized entry into
the car. This system is operated in
three stages: the first is the "Armed"
stage, the second is the "Theft-alarm"
stage, and the third is the "Disarmed"
stage. If triggered, the system provides
an audible alarm with blinking of the
hazard warning lights.
Armed stage

Park the vehicle and stop the engine.
Arm the system as described below.

button of the front outside door
handle with the smart key in
