•  The theft-deterrent system triggers an alarm to the surrounding area by operating the horn and flashing the hazard lights if a door, liftgate/trunk or the hood is forcibly opened.

•  For servicing, basically use the M-MDS with the theft-deterrent system turned off.

•  Not applicable

•  For security reasons, even a forcible IG-ON using the M-MDS, such as when servicing a keyless entry system malfunction or loss of the key, is regarded as an unauthorized IG-ON which is one of the conditions that triggers the theft-deterrent system.

•  Therefore, if the ignition is switched ON forcibly using the M-MDS without the theft-deterrent system turned off while servicing, the theft-deterrent system activates the warning.
