USING THE ALARM SYSTEM

ARMING THE ALARM

To arm the alarm, press ARM. The alarm chirps once.

Notes:

•The status indicator turns on when the system is armed.

•The system ignores current- 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.

When you disarm and re-arm the sys- tem, the shock sensor returns to its previous sensitivity setting.

SOUNDING THE PANIC ALARM

To sound a panic alarm, press and release PANIC. The alarm sounds 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).

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 ARM to arm the system. The alarm chirps once. Then, within 2 seconds, press ARM again. The alarm chirps once in a lower tone.

To completely turn off the shock sen- sor, press ARM twice within 2 sec- onds of arming. The alarm chirps in a lower tone each time you press ARM.

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 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 the alert sooner, press any button.
