ignition and turned to START
or the door is not unlocked by
pressing
Q during the 10-second
pre-alarm, the alarm goes off. The
headlamps flash and the horn
sounds for about 30 seconds, then
turns off to save the battery power.

correct ignition key if the alarm has
been set off.
To avoid setting off the alarm by

or place the key in the

off the alarm.

unlock the door with the manual
door lock, and open the door.

If the alarm does not sound when it
should, but the headlamps flash,

the fuse, see Fuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 10‑30.
