THEFT DETERRENT DETAILS


  1. FUNCTION


    1. The theft deterrent system has the following functions:

      Function Operation
      Alarm When the theft deterrent system enters the alarm state, the warning items are operated for approx. 27.5 seconds.
      Security Indicator Light

      • 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 immobiliser indicator and it blinks when the immobiliser is in an engaged state.
      Forced Door Lock

      The main body ECU transmits a door lock signal to all the doors when all of the following conditions are satisfied:


      • The theft deterrent system is in the alarm state.

      • One of the doors has been unlocked.

      • No electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is detected in the actuation area.

      The function stops when one of the following conditions is met:


      • All doors are locked.

      • The warning ends.

      • An electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is detected in the actuation area.
      Panic Control* When the panic button of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is pressed, the main body ECU operates the alarm function.

      • *: Models with panic alarm function

  2. CONSTRUCTION


    1. Theft Warning Radar Sensor Assembly (Except Models for China)


      1. A theft warning radar sensor assembly is provided in the map light assembly.

      2. If the theft warning radar sensor assembly detects an inappropriate entry into the vehicle interior or if the door glass is broken by an intruder, a warning signal is sent to the certification ECU.

      3. The theft warning radar sensor assembly detects intruders by sending an ultrasonic wave and detecting differences in the frequency of the reflected wave.

      4. The theft warning radar sensor assembly, 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).

      5. When the theft warning radar sensor assembly detects a moving object in the vehicle or that the door glass is broken, the system transfers to the alarm state. Then, the system sounds the horn and security horn assembly intermittently and blinks the hazard warning light for approximately 27.5 seconds and performs a forced locking operation.

    2. Theft Warning Radar Sensor Assembly (Models for China)


      1. A pre-detection function is used for the theft warning radar sensor assembly. When the door glass is broken, ultrasonic waves are output, and the pre-detection function stops the theft warning radar sensor assembly from outputting waves until these ultrasonic waves have been detected (the pre-detection function is activated by wave reception only). This prevents the system from mistakenly giving a warning when insects, people, pets etc. are detected inside the vehicle. After the sound of the glass breaking is detected, the sensor starts sending waves and actuates normal detection control.*

        Tech Tips

        *: The pre-detection function performs pre-detection when the theft warning radar sensor is set and all the door windows are closed. When any one of the door windows is open, normal detection control is performed.

    3. Theft Warning Radar Sensor Cancel Switch (Models with Theft Warning Radar Sensor Assembly)


      1. A theft warning radar sensor cancel switch is provided in the map light assembly.

      2. When the system is in the disarmed state, pressing the theft warning radar sensor cancel switch can disable the function of the theft warning radar sensor assembly.

    4. Tilt 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 the 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 that caused by a thief attempting to tow the vehicle, it transmits the warning signal to the certification ECU.

      3. The certification ECU activates the tilt sensor when the system changes from the armed preparation state to the armed state. If a 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 theft warning radar 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 the entry and start system, and is reinstated when the tilt senor is on.

        Tech Tips

        Under the following conditions, if the vehicle tilts or if an increase in the vertical and horizontal movement 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 a multi-story parking facility.

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

        • A tire has blown out.

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

        • An earthquake occurs or the road subsides.

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

    5. Theft Warning Siren Assembly


      1. During normal operation, this siren sounds an alarm in accordance with the operation signal from the certification 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 related to the system are cut.

  3. OPERATION
