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.
