ALARM VIOLATIONS
Your alarm senses violations by mon-
itoring your vehicle’s electrical system
(current sensing) and by detecting im-
pacts (shock sensing).
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 says “You are too close to the vehi-
cle. Please, move away” (if armed in
the voice mode) or chirps 3 times (if
armed in the chirp mode). If it senses
another 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 an alert for 30 seconds. If
you armed the system in the voice
mode, it yells “I was tampered with”
and sounds loud tones. If you armed
the system in the chirp mode, the sys-
tem sounds loud tones. To silence
the alert sooner, press any button.
DISARMING THE
SYSTEM
To disarm the system, press either
ARM TALK or ARM CHIRP . The sys-
tem confirms that it is disarmed by
saying “System disarmed” or by
beeping twice.
Notes:
• The status indicator is off when
the system is disarmed.
• If the valet mode is turned off, the
system rearms itself after 1
minute if you have not started the
vehicle.
• If the system detected a violation
while you were away, it says “I
was tampered with” or beeps
three times when you disarm it.
USING THE CAR FINDER
The car finder helps you find your ve-
hicle in a dark or crowded parking lot.
To use the car finder, with the system
armed, press
FINDER . The alarm
chirps 8 times.
