Introduction
This alarm system is operated by the original high security remote control described in the car’s
owner’s manual. To programme extra remote controls consult your Toyota authorised retailer.
The alarm system can only be armed and disarmed with the original car remote control. The
protection of your car is assured by interior movement and perimetric sensors. The alarm system is
self-protected against system attack.
During an alarm, the alarm siren, and the vehicle horn, and the blinkers are activated.
