THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM > SYSTEM DESCRIPTION



THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The theft deterrent system is designed to deter vehicle break-ins and theft. If an attempted break-in or theft is detected, horns will sound and the lights flash. The system uses the following cues to detect an attempted break-in or theft: 1) vehicle is forcibly entered, 2) the engine hood is forcibly opened, 3) the doors are unlocked without the use of a key, or 4) the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal is disconnected and reconnected.
If the system enters the alarm sounding state, any unlocked doors will automatically lock.
The system has 4 states: disarmed state, arming preparation state, armed and alarm sounding state.
