Alarm Triggering
An intrusion into the vehicle or hard impact to the body will sound the alarm and flash the lights for 1 minute.
After 1 minute the trigger cycle will automatically stop and alarm will remain armed to continue protecting the
vehicle. If a door is left open after an intrusion then the unit will cycle a maximum of 2 minutes and continue to
protect the other un-tampered or unopened zones.

This system will notify you if the alarm was tripped while you where away. Upon disarming, the two normal
disarm chirps will be heard then the system will emit 4 additional siren chirps. Check your vehicle for any
signs of a break in or tampering. Also see LED Diagnostics Section to determine the cause of the trigger.
