  4. FORCED DOOR LOCK CONTROL 
    1. The forced door lock control prevents the vehicle from being tampered with. Immediately after a door is unlocked (armed state), all doors are forced to lock by a forced door lock signal.
      1. If the following conditions are met, the forced door lock control is operated.
        • The theft deterrent system is in the armed state.
        • Any door is unlocked.
  5. ALARM MEMORY FUNCTION 
    1. If the alarm is set off (tampering is detected) while the theft deterrent system is in the armed state, it will be stored by the alarm memory function. Whenever the theft deterrent system is canceled, the alarm memory function causes the taillights to light up for 2 seconds in order to inform the user that the alarm has been set off.
      1. Condition that cause the taillights to light up for 2 seconds:

        The theft deterrent system has entered the alarm sounding state (tampering has been detected) at least once.

        HINT: 

        Active arming mode: See Active Arming Mode.

  6. PANIC ALARM CONTROL 
    1. Panic alarm control makes it possible to voluntarily set off the panic alarm by pressing the panic switch on the key.
      1. Conditions that cause panic alarm control to set off the panic alarm:

        The panic switch on the key is pressed under the following conditions:

        • The ignition switch is off.
        • The theft deterrent system is not in the alarm sounding state.
      2. Conditions that cause the panic alarm control to shut off the alarm:

        Any of the following conditions is met during panic alarm control operation:

        • The ignition switch is turned to ON.
        • The panic switch is pressed again.
        • Any of the switches on the key (lock/unlock) is pressed.
        • The panic alarm ends (approximately 57 seconds have elapsed).
        • The theft deterrent system switches to the alarm sounding state. Under this condition, the theft deterrent system controls the alarm rather than the panic alarm control. In order to cancel this alarm, refer to the theft deterrent system alarm sounding state cancellation procedure.
  7. SECURITY INDICATOR LIGHT OUTPUT 
    1. According to the state of the theft deterrent system, the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) outputs a signal to turn the security indicator light on. However, some of the actual lighting conditions of the security indicator light are different from the output signals of the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU).
      OUTPUT

      State of Theft Deterrent System Security Indicator Light
      Output Signal from Main Body ECU (Multiplex Network Body ECU) Actual Lighting Condition
      Disarmed state (1), (2) Off

      Pre Alarm sounding state (1), (2) Off Blinking*
      Alarm sounding state On On

      HINT: 

      *: When the immobiliser function is set, the security indicator light blinks during both the disarmed state and the armed state due to output signals from the immobiliser function.
