Security system operating term

*1: With power tailgate
*2: Without power tailgate

Security Setting

When the security alarm is set, the MICU sends the security set signal using the B-CAN. When the gauge control module receives a security set signal from the MICU, the security indicator flashes at a slower pace to indicate the system has armed.

Security Alarm

With the security system armed, manually opening the hood or the tailgate or moving the door lock knob to the unlock position activates the security alarm. Alternatively, the security alarm sounds, the headlights low beam, the parking lights, the taillights, the license plate lights, and the side marker lights blink, repeating this alarm (one cycle is 120 seconds). Even if you remove the 12 volt battery, the alarming state cannot be changed. The alarm starts again when reinstalling the 12 volt battery.

Answer Back Control

When using the remote, the MICU provides an answer back function to alert the client that the MICU received a lock or unlock command from the remote.

When the MICU receives a lock signal, the MICU sends signals once to the turn signal lights, and keyless buzzer will sound once when you press the Lock button again within 5 seconds.
