N (for NO)if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage;

Theft deterrent system

To deter the vehicle theft, the system is designed to give an alarm and keep the engine from being started if any of the front, sliding and back doors and hood is forciblyunlocked or the batteryterminal is disconnected and then reconnected when the vehicle is locked.

The alarm blows the horn intermittently and flashes the headlights, tail lights and other exterior lights. The engine cannot be started because the starter circuit will be cut.

SETTING THE SYSTEM

1. Turn the ignition key to the "LOCK" position and remove it.

2. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle.

3. Close and lock the front, sliding and back doors and hood.

The indicator light will come on when the front, sliding and back doors and hood are closed and locked.

As the front doors are locked, the system will give you a preparation time of 30 seconds before the setting, during which the front, sliding and back doors and hood may be opened to prepare for the setting.

Be careful not to use the key when opening either front door. This will cancel the system.

4. After making sure the indicator light starts flashing, you may leave the vehicle.

The system will automatically be set after the preparation time elapses. The indicator light will flash to show the system is set. If any of the front, sliding and back doors and hood is opened at that time, the setting is interrupted until it is closed and locked.

Never leave anyone in the vehicle when you set the system, because unlocking from the inside will activate (使起动) the system.

WHEN THE SYSTEM IS SET

Activating the system

The system will give the alarm and cut the starter circuit under the following conditions:

If any of the front, sliding and back doors and hood is unlocked without using the key

If the batteryterminal is disconnected and then reconnected

After one minute, the alarm will automatically stop with the starter circuit cut kept on.

Reactivating the alarm

Once set, the system automatically resets the alarm each time the front, sliding and back doors and hood are closed after the alarm stops.

The alarm will be activated again under the following conditions:

If any of the front, sliding and back doors and hood is opened

If the batteryterminal is disconnected and then reconnected

Stopping the alarm

Turn the ignition key from the "LOCK" to "ACC" position. The alarm will be stopped with the starter circuit cut kept on. Stopping the alarm in this manner will keep the alarm from being reactivated when any of the front, sliding and back doors and hood is opened.

Interrupting the setting

With the system set, the back door can be opened with the key without activating or canceling the system. While it is open, the front and sliding doors and hood may be opened in addition, and the system can be activated only by the batteryterminal disconnection.

To resume the setting, close and lock the front, sliding and back doors and hood. The back door must be closed with the key removed.

CANCELLING THE SYSTEM

Unlock either front door with the key, or unlock the sliding door with the key when it has been closed. This cancels the system completely and the starter circuit cut will be cancelled at once.

INDICATOR LIGHT

The indicator light gives the following three indications when the system is in use. When the light is:

FLASHING-The system is set. You need the key to open the front, sliding and back doors and hood.

ON-The system will automatically be set when the time comes. The front, sliding and back doors and hood may be opened without a key.

OFF-The system is inactive. You may open any door and hood.

TESTING THE SYSTEM

1. Open the driver's and front passenger's windows.

2. Set the system as described above. The front doors should be locked with the key. Be sure to wait until the indicator light starts flashing.

3. Unlock one of the front, sliding and back doors from the inside. The system should activate the alarm.

4. Cancel the system by unlocking either front door with the key.

5. Repeat this operation for the other doors and hood. When testing on the hood, also check that the system is activated when the batteryterminal is disconnected and then reconnected.

If the system does not work properly, have it checked by your Toyota dealer.
