Active Antitheft System


Anti-Theft System

NOTE: There is no key lock cylinder protection as the vehicle is already protected by the passive vehicle protection system.

The anti-theft alarm system provides vehicle protection as follows:
- It provides the vehicle with protection from unauthorized entry into the passenger compartment, luggage compartment and engine compartment.
- It also monitors the status of the ignition switch lock cylinder.
- The system is controlled by an anti-theft alarm control.
- When armed, unauthorized entry into the passenger compartment is detected by lamp switches (located in the passenger compartment front doors).
- The luggage compartment is protected by a door lock cylinder switch, located on the luggage compartment door lock cylinder.
- The engine compartment is protected by an anti-theft control bracket and switch located on the LH shock tower.

Once triggered, the system responds as follows:
- flashes the low beam headlamps, the parking lamps, rear lamps and the alarm indicator
- sounds the horn
- dis ables the starter circuit until the system is dis armed
