Theft Deterrent System

The theft deterrent system uses the door lock control system components and some other parts. When somebody attempts to forcibly enter the vehicle or open the engine hood or luggage compartment door without a key, or when the battery terminals are removed and reconnected, the theft deterrent system sounds the horns and flashes the headlights and taillights for about one minute as an alert. At the same time, it locks all the doors and electrically disconnects the starter.

NOTE: For more information on this system, see ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM article.
