FUNCTION
The theft deterrent system has the following functioris:
| Function | Outline |
|---|---|
| Alarm | When the theft deterrent system enters the alarm state, the warning items (hazard warning lights and security horn or self-power siren) are operated for approximately 27.5 seconds. |
| Security Indicator |

CONSTRUCTION
Intrusion Sensor
An intrusion sensor is provided in the map light assembly.
If the intrusion sensor detects an inappropriate entry into the vehicle interior by an intruder (including intrusions made by breaking window glass), a warning signal is sent to the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU).
The intrusion sensor operation can be suspended for a short period of time by pressing the intrusion sensor cancel switch, provided on the map light assembly, before the theft deterrent system is set.
The intrusion sensor, which is linked to the auto alarm system, sets automatically when the system transfers to the armed state (and the setting of the auto alarm is completed).
When the intrusion sensor detects a moving object in the vehicle interior, the system transfers to the alarm state. Then, the system sounds the horn intermittently and blinks the hazard warning lights for approximately 27.5 seconds and performs a forced locking operation.
Tech Tips
Radio waves are used to detect intrusion. Radio waves do not penetrate steel or glass. When any of the side windows is left open, radio waves may escape. This may result in the detection of people in the surroundings, leaves or insects entering the vehicle, strong wind or other radio wave sources in the environment when the vehicle is parked with the side windows open.
When parking the vehicle with the side windows open for ventilation, turn off the intrusion sensor using the off switch.
Glass Breakage Sensor
By sending signals through the connected sensor strips on the back door glass and rear quarter glass, the glass breakage sensor can detect breakage of those glasses.
The glass breakage sensors are linked to the theft deterrent system, and they will automatically be set when the system enters the armed state. During the armed state, when the glass breakage sensor detects an open circuit of the print patterns on the back door glass and rear quarter glass, it transmits a signal indicating glass breakage to the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU), and the system enters the alarm state.
Self-power Siren (Theft Warning Siren Assembly)
During a normal operation, this siren sounds an alarm in accordance with the operation signal from the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU). Because this siren has an internal battery, it can independently sound an alarm even if the vehicle's battery terminals are disconnected or if the wiring harnesses that are related to the system are cut.
OPERATION
The states of the theft deterrent system are as follows:
| State | Description | Theft Detection |
|---|---|---|
| Disarmed State | The theft deterrent system has not been set by the user. | Not possible |
| Armed Preparation State | The standby state before the theft deterrent system activates when the system has already been set. | Not possible |
| Armed State | The theft deterrent system is being activated. (Theft can be detected.) | Possible |
| Alarm State | Theft has been detected and the warning operation activates. | Possible |
The theft deterrent system activates as described in the diagram below when one of items in the chart occurs in order to cause the system to enter the respective state.
| Condition | Item |
|---|---|
| (1) | In the disarmed state, when the power switch is off, the system state is switched if all of the following conditions are met: With all doors closed and engine hood closed, all doors are locked by wireless operation or the entry and start system. |
| (2) | Allow approx. 30 seconds to elapse. |
| (3) | - All doors are unlocked by wireless operation or the entry and start system. - Any door is unlocked. - Any door is opened. - The power switch is turned on (ACC or IG). - The auxiliary battery is reconnected. |
| (4) | - With the engine hood closed, the engine hood is opened. - The auxiliary battery is reconnected. - Intrusion sensor (theft warning ultrasonic sensor) detects movement within vehicle (except in the situation where there is a key in the actuation area or it is within 30 seconds of a person who is holding a key exiting an actuation area).* - The main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) detects breakage of the glass breakage sensor (back window fix glass or back door glass).* - Any door is opened when all doors are closed. - Any door is unlocked when all doors are locked. - When 5 seconds or more have elapsed. - The engine hood is opened. - Any door is unlocked. - Any door is opened. Note Radio waves are used to detect intrusion. Radio waves do not penetrate steel or glass. When any of the side windows is left open, radio waves may escape. This may result in the detection of people in the surroundings, leaves or insects entering the vehicle, strong wind or other radio wave sources in the environment when the vehicle is parked with the side windows open. When parking the vehicle with the side windows open for ventilation, turn off the intrusion sensor (theft warning ultrasonic sensor) using the intrusion sensor cancel switch.* |
| (5) | - The power switch is turned on (READY). - All doors are unlocked by wireless operation or the entry and start system. |
| (6) | After approx. 27.5 seconds, alarm stops and 5 seconds later system returns to armed state. |
| (7) |
|
| (8) | - Any door is unlocked when all doors are locked. - Any door is opened. - The power switch is turned on (ACC or IG). - The auxiliary battery is reconnected. - All doors are unlocked by wireless operation or the entry and start system. |
| (9) | In the disarmed state 1, when the power switch is off, the system state is switched if the following condition is met: - With all doors closed and the engine hood open, all doors are locked by wireless operation or the entry and start system. |
