Overview
The perimeter anti-theft alarm system has three operation modes:

ignition is OFF and all vehicle entry points have been electrically
locked for 20 seconds.
-

the horn sounds and all turn signals and interior courtesy lamps flash.
The horn stops sounding after 30 seconds and the lights continue to
