The alarm system
The alarm is automatically armed whenever
the car is locked with the remote control, or if
a front lock button is depressed.
When armed, the alarm continuously moni-
tors a number of points on the car. The fol-
lowing conditions will trigger the alarm:
• The hood is forced open.
• The trunk is forced open.
• A door is forced open.
• The ignition switch is tampered with.
• An attempt is made to start the car with a
non-approved key (a key not coded to the
car's ignition).
• If there is movement in the passenger
compartment (if the car is equipped with
the optional movement sensor).
• The car is lifted or towed (if the car is
equipped with the optional inclination sen-
sor)
• The battery is disconnected (while the
alarm is armed).
• The siren is disconnected when the alarm
is disarmed.
NOTE
The alarm system functions in the same
way, regardless of whether the power
retractable hard top is raised or lowered.
