THEFT DETERRENT DETAILS

FUNCTION

1. The theft deterrent system has the following functions:

   Function	Outline
   Alarm	When the theft deterrent system switches to the alarm state, the warning items are operated and the alarm sounds for approximately 30 seconds.
   Alarm Indicator	When the state of the theft deterrent system enters the armed preparation or alarm state, the security indicator light is illuminated to inform the user. This indicator is also the engine immobiliser indicator, which blinks when the engine immobiliser is in the set state.
   Forced Door Lock	The main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) transmits a door lock signal to all the doors when all the following conditions are met: The theft deterrent system is in the alarm state. There is no key in the actuation are. One of the doors has been unlocked. The function stops when one of the following conditions is met: All doors are locked. The warning ends after approximately 30 seconds. The key is in the actuation area.
   Panic Control*	When the PANIC button of the key is pressed, the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) operates the alarm function.

   *: Models except for Europe and China

CONSTRUCTION

1. Intrusion Sensor (Models with Intrusion Sensor)

   
   

   1. An intrusion sensor is provided in the map light assembly.

   2. The intrusion sensor detects any intrusion into the vehicle interior and transmits a warning signal to the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU).

   3. This sensor transmits radiowaves at 24.5 GHz in the vehicle interior. When an intruding object moves, in disrupts the reflection of the radiowaves, and the senor detects the resulting changes in the phase of the radiowaves.

   4. The main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) activates the intrusion sensor when the system changes from the armed preparation state to the armed state. If an intrusion detection signal is input from the intrusion sensor during the armed state, the ECU changes to the alarm state in order to output an alarm.

   5. When the system is in the disarmed state, pressing the intrusion sensor cancel switch can disable the function of the intrusion sensor. If the system changes to the armed state, the intrusion senor will not activate. This function is canceled each time all doors are unlocked with a entry and start system, and is reinstated when the intrusion sensor is on.

2. Intrusion Sensor Cancel Switch (Models with Intrusion Sensor)

   
   

   1. An intrusion sensor cancel switch is provided in the map light assembly.

   2. When the system is in the disarmed state, pressing the intrusion sensor cancel switch can disable the function of the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor.

3. Tilt Sensor (Yawrate Sensor) (Models with tilt sensor)

   
   

   1. The tilt sensor is incorporated in the yawrate sensor located inside the front floor console.

   2. The tilt sensor detects pitch angle of vehicle inclination using the 2 deceleration sensors. When the tilt sensor detects a change in the pitch angle of vehicle inclination, such as a thief attempting to tow the vehicle, it transmits the warning signal to the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU).

   3. The main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) activates the tilt sensor when the system changes from the armed preparation state to the armed state. If warning signal is input from the tilt sensor during the armed state, the ECU changes to the alarm state in order to output an alarm.

   4. When the system is in the disarmed state, pressing the intrusion sensor cancel switch can disable the function of the tilt sensor. If the system changes to the armed state, the tilt sensor will not activate. This function is canceled each time all doors are unlocked with a entry and start system, and is reinstated when the tilt senor is on.

      CAUTION:

      Under the following conditions, if the vehicle tilts or the acceleration of gravity in the vertical and horizontal directions of the vehicle is detected by the tilt sensor, an alarm may occur accidentally. To avoid accidental alarm activation, turn the tilt sensor off using the intrusion sensor cancel switch.

      
      

      • The vehicle is transported by ferry, trailer or train.

      • The vehicle is parked in multi-story parking facilities.

      • The vehicle is washed by a conveyor type car washing machine.

      • A tire blew out.

      • The vehicle is jacked up for a tire or wheel change.

      • An earthquake occurs or road subsides.

      • Goods such as skis or snowboards are loaded or unloaded.

4. Self-power Siren (Models for Europe, China, Israel and Hong Kong)

   
   

   1. During a normal operation, self-power 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 battery terminals are disconnected or if the wiring harnesses that are related to the system are cut.
