1-5. Theft deterrent system

The intrusion sensor and tilt sensor
detection



The intrusion sensor detects intrud-
ers or movement in the vehicle.



The tilt sensor detects changes in
vehicle inclination, such as when the
vehicle is towed away.

This system is designed to deter and
prevent vehicle theft but does not
guarantee absolute security against all
intrusions.

Setting the intrusion sensor and tilt
sensor

The intrusion sensor and tilt sensor will
be set automatically when the alarm is
set. (



P.91)

Canceling the intrusion sensor and
tilt sensor

If you are leaving pets or other moving
things inside the vehicle, make sure to
disable the intrusion sensor and tilt
sensor before setting the alarm, as they
will respond to movement inside the
vehicle.

Turn the engine switch <power
switch> off.

Press the intrusion sensor and tilt
sensor cancel switch.

Press the switch again to re-enable the

intrusion sensor and tilt sensor.
Each time the intrusion sensor and tilt sen-

sor are canceled/set, a message will be

shown on the multi-information display in

the instrument cluster.

Canceling and automatic re-enabling of

the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor

The alarm will still be set even when the

intrusion sensor and tilt sensor are can-

celed.

After the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor

are canceled, pressing the engine switch

<power switch> or unlocking the doors

using the entry function or wireless

remote control will re-enable the intru-

sion sensor and tilt sensor.

The intrusion sensor and tilt sensor will

automatically be re-enabled when the

alarm system is deactivated.

Intrusion sensor detection consider-

ations

The sensor may trigger the alarm in the fol-

lowing situations:

People or pets are in the vehicle.

A window is open.

In this case, the sensor may detect the fol-

uri

lowing:

• Wind or the movement of objects such as

leaves and insects inside the vehicle

• Ultrasonic waves emitted from devices

such as the intrusion sensors of other

vehicles

• The movement of people outside the

vehicle

Unstable items, such as dangling acces-

sories or clothes hanging on the coat

hooks, are in the vehicle.

The vehicle is parked in a place where

extreme vibrations or noises occur, such

as in a parking garage.

Ice or snow is removed from the vehicle,

causing the vehicle to receive repeated

impacts or vibrations.

The vehicle is inside an automatic or

high-pressure car wash.

The vehicle experiences impacts, such as

hail, lightning strikes, and other kinds of

repeated impacts or vibrations.

Tilt sensor detection considerations

The sensor may trigger the alarm in the fol-

lowing situations:

The vehicle is transported by a ferry,

trailer, train, etc.

The vehicle is parked in a parking garage.

The vehicle is inside a car wash that

moves the vehicle.

Any of the tires loses air pressure.

The vehicle is jacked up.

An earthquake occurs or the road caves

WARNING

Caution for use while driving

When operating the multi-information

display while driving, pay extra atten-

tion to the safety of the area around the

vehicle.

Do not look continuously at the multi-

information display while driving as

you may fail to see pedestrians, objects

on the road, etc. ahead of the vehicle.

The information display at low tem-

peratures

Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm

up before using the liquid crystal infor-

mation display. At extremely low tem-

peratures, the information display

monitor may respond slowly, and display

changes may be delayed.

For example, there is a lag between the

driver’s shifting and the new gear number

appearing on the display. This lag could

cause the driver to downshift again,

causing rapid and excessive engine brak-

ing and possibly an accident resulting in

death or injury.
