■ The intrusion sensor detection

• The intrusion sensor detects intruders or movement in the vehicle.

This system is designed to deter and prevent vehicle theft but does not guarantee absolute security against all intrusions.

■ Setting the intrusion sensor

The intrusion sensor will be set automatically when the alarm is set.

■ Canceling the intrusion sensor

If you are leaving pets or other moving things inside the vehicle, make sure to disable the intrusion sensor before setting the alarm, as they will respond to movement inside the vehicle.

1. Turn the power switch off.

2. Press the intrusion sensor cancel switch.

Press the switch again to re-enable the intrusion sensor.

A message will be shown on the multi-information display in the instrument cluster.

The intrusion sensor will revert to on each time the power switch is turned to ON.

■Canceling and automatic re-enabling of the intrusion sensor

• People or pets are in the vehicle.

• A window is open. In this case, the sensor may detect the following:
  • Wind or the movement of objects such as leaves and insects inside the vehicle
  • Ultrasonic waves emitted from devices such as the intrusion sensors of other vehicles
  • The movement of people outside the vehicle

• Small insects such as moths or flies are in the vehicle.
• Unstable items, such as dangling accessories or clothes hanging on the coat hooks, are in the vehicle.

• The vehicle is parked in a place where extreme vibrations or noises occur, such as in a parking garage.

• Ice or snow is removed from the vehicle, causing the vehicle to receive repeated impacts or vibrations.

• The vehicle is inside an automatic or high-pressure car wash.
• The vehicle experiences impacts, such as hail, lightning strikes, and other kinds of repeated impacts or vibrations.

NOTICE

■To ensure the intrusion sensor function correctly

• To ensure that the sensors operate properly, do not touch or cover them.

• Do not spray air fresheners or other products directly into the sensor holes.

• Installing accessories other than genuine Toyota parts or leaving objects between the driver's seat and front passenger's seat may reduce the detection performance.
