you have to leave something valuable in your vehicle?

Theft Deterrent System
-
-
Your vehicle has a theft deterrent alarm system. Once
armed, the system will sound the horn and flash the
parking lamps if the vehicle is tampered with.
Opening the doors may activate the alarm. See
"Disarming the System" later in this section for further
information on turning the system off.
Shock Sensor
A shock sensor triggers the alarm when it detects a blow
to your vehicle. It is located in the center floor console.
There are two levels of alarms via the shock sensor: two
horn blasts and the headlamp/parking lamps flash for
-
non threatening blows to the vehicle or a full
-
two minute alarm for harder blows to the vehicle. The
sensitivity can be adjusted if more or less is desired. If
sensitivity is increased too much, it may give false
alarms caused by gusts of wind or other natural events
that may shake the vehicle.
