THEFT-ALARM SYSTEM

GENERAL INFORMATION

M2545700200176

When the doors are locked using the keyless entry 
function or KOS (except when locked by using the 
key cylinder or door lock switch), the improper open-
ing of door or trunk causes the ETACS-ECU function 
and control to give off an alarm with the flashing of 
headlights and the intermittent sounding of horns. 
Also, the ETACS-ECU warns that the theft-alarm 
system is being set by flashing the theft-alarm indica-
tor.

PANIC ALARM SYSTEM

TSB Revision

CHASSIS ELECTRICAL

54A-46

Operating the door lock with the keyless entry func-
tion or keyless operation key (except for operating 
the door lock with the key cylinder) makes the vehi-
cle ready for the alarm, and "ping" tone starts. After 
20 seconds, the incorrect door/trunk/hood opening 
(opening door or trunk without unlocking by the key-
less entry function or keyless operation key) sounds 
the room alarm with "Beep" tone under for the alarm 
state. In addition, the headlights blink, and the horns 
sound intermittently for 175 seconds to execute exte-
rior protection 

.

ALARM HISTORY OUTPUT FUNCTION

If the exterior protection is activated between the last OFF 
operation and the next ON operation of the ignition switch, this 
function informs the driver by flashing the security indicator.
