USING THE ALARM SYSTEM
SETTING THE SYSTEM’S OPTIONS
You can adjust the following options:
•Shock Sensor Sensitivity
•Current Sensor (On/Off)
•Valet Mode (On/Off)
Setting the Shock Sensor’s Sensitivity
The shock sensor’s initial setting is fine for most situations. To test the shock sensor, strike your vehicle on the hood directly over the alarm
If the shock sensor is too sensitive or not sensitive enough, follow these steps to set it to a different level.
1.With the alarm disarmed, hold down FINDER until the alarm sounds four tones.
2.Within 2 seconds, strike your vehicle with as much force as you want the alarm to respond to. The alarm sounds three tones. Any shock equal to or greater than the setting triggers the alert.
Notes:
•If you do not strike your vehicle within 2 seconds, the alarm is set to its highest sensitivity. This could cause frequent false alerts.
•The shock sensor does not oper- ate for 8 seconds after the sys- tem is armed.
Setting the Current Sensor
If your vehicle has electronic acces- sories that turn on and off automati- cally while you are away from the vehicle, the alarm might sound false alerts.
Note: The system can detect an elec- tric engine fan, and does not sound a false alert when the fan comes on.
To disable the current sensor, so ac- cessories do not trigger an alert, dis- arm the system. Then hold down PANIC for about 2 seconds. The sys- tem chirps twice.
To
Notes:
•The current sensor does not operate for 40 seconds after you arm the system.
•You can also try unplugging or disconnecting electronic acces- sories such as radar detectors or cellular phones when you leave your vehicle, instead of disabling the current sensor, to prevent the false alerts.
