Anti-Theft System Operation

The anti-theft alarm system provides vehicle protection as follows:
^ The system is controlled by an anti-theft alarm control.
^ It provides the vehicle with protection from unauthorized entry into the passenger compartment and luggage compartment.
^ 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.

Once triggered, the system responds as follows:
^ flashes the low beam headlamps, the parking lamps, rear lamps and the alarm indicator
^ sounds the horn
^ disables the starter circuit until the system is disarmed
