Operation

Siren/Horn triggering conditions

The siren/horn sounds intermittently and the hazard warning lights flash for about 30 seconds when the system is triggered by any one of the following:

  • Unlocking a door with the auxiliary key or an inside door-lock knob.

  • Forcing open a door, the bonnet or the liftgate.

  • Opening the bonnet by operating the bonnet release handle.

  • Switching the ignition ON without using the push button start.

  • (With the intrusion sensor)

    The intrusion sensor detects a movement in the vehicle.

The system will be triggered again (up to 10 times) if one of the above conditions remains.

  • (With the intrusion sensor)

    Disconnecting the battery terminal (the hazard warning lights do not flash).

The system will be triggered about 10 times.

 


  • The liftgate does not open while the theft-deterrent system is operating.

  • For vehicles equipped with the power liftgate, the liftgate can be opened even while the theft-deterrent system is operating by pressing the power liftgate button on the transmitter or the electric liftgate opener switch while carrying the key.

  • If the battery goes dead while the theft-deterrent system is armed, the siren/horn will activate and the hazard warning lights will flash when the battery is charged or replaced.
