To adjust, remove the label covering the adjustment
knob and adjust as desired. Turn the knob clockwise to
increase sensitivity and counterclockwise to decrease
sensitivity. The shock sensor is ignored by the alarm
system when the ignition is on, when the hatch is open,
when the alarm is disarmed or when it is customized to
be ignored and for five seconds after the horn sounds an
alarm or chirp. The shock sensor is ignored after
triggering three full alarms until the system is rearmed.
Arming the System
The alarm system can be armed to detect break-ins by
locking your vehicle using the remote keyless entry
transmitter or by locking the doors with the power door
lock switch.
Passive arming is also available, if you would like the
system to arm all by itself after the doors have been
closed for a short time. When the system is armed, a red
light on the top of the instrument panel will flash briefly
once every two seconds. If you return to your vehicle
and the red light is flashing two brief flashes every two
seconds, the system is armed and the shock sensor had
triggered a two
-minute alarm. If the red light is flashing
three times every two seconds, the system is armed and
there was an intrusion that sounded the alarm. Horn
chirps and parking lamp flashes can be set to your
choice. See “Feature Customization” in the Index.
Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter Locking
If all the doors are closed, locking the vehicle with the
remote keyless entry transmitter will immediately arm
the system. The horn will chirp twice and the parking
lamps will flash, confirming that the system is armed.
If any door is open when the transmitter LOCK button
is pressed, the system goes into an armed wait mode,
waiting for the doors to close. Once they are closed, the
system will arm, the horn chirps twice and the parking
lamps will flash. If the hatch is open or ajar at the time
the system is arming, the horn will only chirp once.
Power Door Lock Switch Locking
If any door is open when the power door lock switch is
pressed, the system goes into an armed wait mode,
waiting for the doors to close. Once they are closed, the
system will arm and the parking lamps will flash. If both
doors are closed when the lock switch is pressed, the
system assumes you are inside the vehicle, so it will not
arm. Locking the doors by using the manual door locks
will not arm the system.
