ARMING THE ALARM
To arm the alarm, press
alarm chirps once.
Notes:
• The status indicator turns on
when the system is armed.
• The
system
ignores
sensing violations for 40 sec-
onds after it arms.
• The system ignores shock-sen-
sor violations for 8 seconds after
you it arms.
• If the valet mode is turned off, the
system arms 60 seconds after
you turn off your vehicle.
Temporarily Reducing the
Shock Sensor's Sensitivity
If you are parking in a severe weather
situation, near a construction zone, or
near heavy traffic, you can temporari-
ly reduce the system's shock sensor
sensitivity to help prevent false alerts.
To reduce the sensitivity to half its
normal level, first press
the system. The alarm chirps once.
Then, within 2 seconds, press
again. The alarm chirps once in a
lower tone.
To completely turn off the shock sen-
sor, press
twice within 2 sec-

ALARM
To sound a panic alarm, press and

release
loud tones for 30 seconds. Press any
button to stop the panic alarm sooner.
ALARM VIOLATIONS
Your alarm senses violations by mon-
itoring your vehicle's electrical system
(current sensing) and by detecting im-
pacts (shock sensing).
An alert sounds immediately if the
current sensor detects an electrical
drain such as occurs when a dome or
trunk light turns on.
The first time the alarm senses an im-
pact that exceeds its sensitivity level,
it chirps three times. If it senses an-
other impact within 30 seconds, the
to arm
ARM
system sounds a full alert.

Note: If an impact is severe, a single
impact can cause a full alert to sound,
without giving a warning.
When your alarm senses a violation,
it sounds extremely loud tones for 30
seconds and then re-arms. To silence
