Anti-Theft Alarm - Vehicles With: Interior Sensor
Alarm System
Note:
Do not arm the alarm with full guard if passengers, animals or other moving objects are inside your vehicle.The alarm could unintentionally turn on.
Perimeter Alarm
The perimeter alarm is a deterrent against unauthorized access to your vehicle through the doors and the hood. It also protects the audio unit.
Interior Sensors
The interior lamp unit sensors are located in the overhead console.
Note:
Do not cover up the interior lamp unit sensors.
The sensors act as a deterrent against unauthorized intrusion by sensing any movement inside your vehicle.
Inclination Sensors
When you lock your vehicle and arm the alarm, the sensors are designed to detect an attempt to raise your vehicle, for example to remove a wheel or to tow it away.
Triggering the Alarm
Once armed, the alarm is triggered in any of the following ways:- If someone opens a door, the liftgate or the hood without a valid key or remote control.
- If you switch your vehicle on without a correctly coded key.
- If the interior sensors detect movement within your vehicle.
If the alarm is triggered, the alarm horn will sound for 30 seconds and the hazard warning flasher will flash for five minutes.
Any further attempts to perform one of the above will trigger the alarm again.
