System Operation Checking

The activation/operation of the system can be checked by following the steps below.
1. Turn the ignition key to the ON position and then use the power-window switch to fully open the window on the driver's side.
2. Turn the ignition key to the LOCK position and then remove the key from the ignition.
3. Open only the driver's door, and close all the other doors, including the hood and the liftgate.
4. Lock the driver's door with the key or the keyless-locking method.
5. All doors will then be locked, and the SECURITY light (within the combination meter) will illuminate; Check that illumination stops in about 20 Seconds.
6. After about Two Seconds have passed after the SECURITY light switched off, reach through the window of the driver's door, pull up the lock lever to unlock the door, and then open the door.
7. Check that, when the door is opened, the horn starts sounding and the headlights flash on and off.
8. To stop the alarm, insert the key into the door's key cylinder and turn the key.

NOTE: To check the alarm for the liftgate or hood, pull the remote release lever before the alarm is activated by the opening of a door or after the first three-minute alarm.
