caused by improper alterations, ad‐
justments or modifications to the
theft-alarm system are not covered
by your vehicle manufacturer war‐
ranty.
Theft-alarm system (for Brazil)
Intrusion/tilt sensor ON/OFF
condition (for Brazil, if equipped)
OJF045334L
The intrusion/tilt sensor detects move‐
ment inside the vehicle and inclination
of the vehicle after locking.
-
To cancel the sensor operation, press
the sensor ON/OFF button when the
system is in the "Disarmed" stage
and the ignition switch or Engine
Start/Stop button is in the OFF posi‐
tion. The button light will turn on to
indicate that the sensor is deactiva‐
ted.
-
If you press the button again or turn
the ignition switch or Engine Start/
Stop button to the ON position, the
sensor will be activated again.
If the system is armed when the sen‐
sor is in the OFF status, the intrusion/
tilt sensor will not operate. But, the
alarm will be activated when the sys‐
tem meets the "intrusion/tilt sensor off
condition" of "Theft alarm" stage. Refer
to Theft-alarm stage on page 4-14.
Deactivate the intrusion/tilt sensor if
there are any chances the vehicle tilts
by the outward influences.
For example,
- When the vehicle is transported by
train, boat or trailer.
- When the vehicle is parked at a park‐
ing tower.
Otherwise, the horn may sound inad‐
vertently.
• Make sure all windows are close while
the sensor operates. If not, the sen‐
sor detects the inadvertent move‐
ment inside the vehicle (for example,
blowing a wind or entering a butter‐
fly) and it makes the horn sounds.
• If boxes are piled high in the vehicle,
the sensor may not detect the move‐
ment behind the boxes. Also the box‐
es may drop and it makes the horn
sounds.
• If the sensor is stained with foreign
matter such as cosmetics, spray type
air freshener, or spray type window
cleaner, the sensor may not operate
normally.
Theft-alarm stage
The alarm will be activated if any of the
following occurs while the system is
armed.
Without the intrusion/tilt sensor
(or intrusion/tilt sensor off
condition (if equipped))
• A front or rear door is opened with‐
out using the transmitter (or smart
key).
• The trunk (tailgate) is opened with‐
out using the transmitter (or smart
key).
