visor is put away, in consideration of preventing problems caused by forgetting to turn it off.

Theft Deterrent System

When any attempt is made to forcibly enter the vehicle, open the engine hood or luggage
door, or unlock any door without a key, or when the battery terminals are disconnected and
then reconnected, this system sounds the vehicle’s horn and security horn, lights the interior
light, and flashes hazard lights, taillights and headlights to deter illegal or mischievous activities.
In addition, the system locks all doors if any door is unlocked while the alarm is activated.

Engine Immobiliser System

The engine immobiliser system is a theft prevention device which does not allow the engine
to be started by any means other than with the ignition key with corresponding pre-registered
ID code.
The system is constructed so that the engine will only start when the ID code of the transponder
chip embedded in the key matches the code registered in the ECM.

Door Lock Control System

The following functions have been newly adopted as standard equipment.

One-motion open function: The function which enables the driver or front passenger to
unlock the driver’s or front passenger’s door by pulling the door’s inside knob.
