Anti-Theft Indicator
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
PATS uses a visual anti-theft indicator located in the IC . The anti-theft indicator proves out for 3 seconds when the ignition key is in the ON or START position under normal operation. If there is a PATS concern, this indicator either flashes rapidly or glows steadily when the ignition key is turned to the ON or START position. PATS also flashes the anti-theft indicator every 2 seconds when the ignition key is in the OFF position to act as a visual theft deterrent.
