Co
ntrols

Security System Alarm

The security system alarm activates when the tailgate, bonnet, or doors are forcibly 
opened. The alarm does not activate if the tailgate or doors are opened with the 
remote transmitter or keyless access system.

■

When the security system alarm activates

The horn sounds intermittently and all the exterior lights flash.

■

To deactivate the security system alarm

Unlock the vehicle using the remote transmitter or keyless access system, or turn the 
power mode to ON. The system, along with the horn and flashing lights, is 
deactivated.

■

Setting the security system alarm

The security system alarm automatically sets when the following conditions have 
been met:

•

The power mode is set to VEHICLE OFF.

•

The bonnet is closed.

•

All doors and the tailgate are locked from outside with the key, remote 
transmitter, or keyless access system.

■

When the security system alarm sets

The security system alarm indicator in the instrument panel blinks and the blinking 
interval changes after about 15 seconds.

■

To cancel the security system alarm

The security system alarm is cancelled when the vehicle is unlocked using the remote 
transmitter or keyless access system, or when the power mode is set to ON. The 
security system alarm indicator goes off at the same time.

Security System Alarm

Do not alter the system or add other devices to it.
Doing so may damage the system and make your 
vehicle inoperable.

The security system alarm will continue for 
approximately 5 minutes before the security system 
deactivates.
The system will go through ten 30-second cycles, 
during which the horn will sound and the security 
system alarm indicator will flash.
Depending on circumstances, the security system 
may continue operating for more than 5 minutes.

Do not set the security system alarm when someone 
is in the vehicle or a window is open. The system can 
accidentally activate when:

•

Unlocking the door with the lock tab.

•

Opening the bonnet with the bonnet release 
handle.

•

Opening the tailgate with the power tailgate 
button on the dashboard.

If the 12-volt battery goes dead after you have set the 
security system alarm, the security alarm may go off 
once the 12-volt battery is recharged or replaced.
If this occurs, deactivate the security system alarm by 
unlocking a door using the remote transmitter or 
keyless access system.

If you unlock a door with the built-in key while the 
security system is activated, the alarm will go off.

Keyless Remote Reminder

When the keyless remote is within the system’s 
operational range, and all the doors are closed, the 
warning function cancels.

If the keyless remote is taken out of the vehicle after 
the power system has been turned on, you can no 
longer change the

 button mode or restart 

the power system. Always make sure if the keyless 
remote is in your vehicle when you operate the

through a window does not activate the warning 
buzzer.

Do not put the keyless remote on the dashboard or in 
the glove box. It may cause the warning buzzer to go 
off. Under some other conditions that can prevent 
the vehicle from locating the keyless remote, the 
warning buzzer may also go off even if the keyless 
remote is within the system’s operational range.
