The security alarm system is for alerting the
surrounding area of suspicious behaviour to
prevent unlawful entry into the vehicle by
operating an alarm if a door or the tailgate is
opened when the vehicle has not been
unlocked using the keyless entry system or
the keyless operation function.
(The buzzer sounds intermittently and the
security indicator lamp in the instrument clus-
ter blinks.)

The system preparation time extends from the
point at which all of the doors and the tailgate
are locked by pressing of the LOCK switch
on the key, the keyless operation function or
the close and lock function to the point at
which the system armed mode goes into
effect.
During this time, it is possible to temporarily
open a door or the tailgate without using the
keyless entry system or the keyless operation
function and without causing the alarm to
sound (for example, when you forget some-
thing inside the vehicle or realize that a win-
dow is open).
(The buzzer stops and the security indicator
lamp continues to blink with the indicator’s
reduced lit-up duration time.)
Once the system preparation mode has ended,
the system armed mode starts.
If an unlawful opening of any of the doors or
tailgate is detected during the system armed
mode, the alarm will be activated to warn
people around the vehicle of an abnormal
condition.
Also, if unlawful moving of the vehicle is
attempted or a vehicle intrusion is detected,
the alarm will be activated.
Inside alarm (approximately 10 seconds):
The buzzer sounds, warning those inside
the vehicle of an abnormal condition.
Outside alarm (approximately 30 seconds):
The turn-signal lamps blink and the horn
sounds, warning people around the vehi-
cle of an abnormal condition.
Refer to “Alarm activation” on page 3-32.

Do not modify or add parts to the security
alarm system.
Doing so could cause the security alarm to
malfunction.
NOTE
The alarm system will not be activated if the
doors and the tailgate have been locked using
a key, the inside lock knob or the central
door lock switch (instead of the keyless entry
system, the keyless operation function or the
close and lock function).
The security alarm has four
modes:
System preparation mode
(approximately 20 seconds)
