Power Sounder, Inclination
Sensor, and Intrusion Sensor
In addition to the standard
theft-deterrent system features, this
system may also have an inclination
sensor, an intrusion sensor, and
power sounder.
The power sounder provides an
audible alarm that is different from
the vehicle s horn. It has its own
power source, and can sound an
alarm when the vehicle s battery is
compromised.
The inclination sensor can set off
the alarm if it senses movement of
the vehicle, such as a change in
vehicle orientation.
The intrusion sensor monitors the
vehicle interior, and can set off the
alarm if it senses an unauthorized
entry into the vehicle s interior. Do
not allow passengers or pets to
remain in the vehicle when the
intrusion sensor is activated.
Before arming the theft-deterrent
system and activating the intrusion
sensor:
Make sure all doors and
windows are completely closed.
Secure any loose items such as
a sunshades.
Make sure there are no
obstructions blocking the
sensors in the front overhead
console.
Inclination and Intrusion
Sensors Disable Switch
It is recommended that the
inclination and intrusion sensors be
deactivated if pets are left in the
vehicle or if the vehicle is being
transported.
With the vehicle turned off, press
in the overhead console. The
indicator light will come on
momentarily, indicating that the
sensor has been disabled until the
next time the alarm system is
armed.
