Anti-theft Alarm System

Except ED,II ED type

The anti-theft alarm system is a device to reduce the likelihood of theft. When the sensor detects vibration or movement with the power switch in the (Off) or (Lock) position and the system is set, the alarm is activated.


The buzzer rings and the turn signals blink for about 10 seconds when the anti-theft alarm system detects vibration caused by contact or movement.


The buzzer rings and the turn signals blink for about 60 seconds when the anti-theft alarm system detects a substantial change in the vehicle posture. After the buzzer rings for 60 seconds, the anti-theft alarm system will be reset in that posture.


If the power switch is left the (Off) or (Lock) position for more than 10 days, the anti-theft alarm system will no longer operate.

When the system is active and the vehicle receives a signal from pressing the answer back/alarm button, system activation will be extended for 10 days.

To reset the system, turn the power switch to the (On) position once.


The anti-theft alarm system uses low-intensity radio waves. It may affect medical equipment such as a cardiac pacemaker.


When the 12 V battery in the vehicle is weak, the anti-theft alarm system may not function.
