SETTING THE SYSTEM’S
OPTIONS
You can adjust the following options:
• Shock Sensor Sensitivity
• Current Sensor (On/Off)
• Valet Mode (On/Off)
Setting the Shock Sensor’s
Sensitivity
The shock sensor’s initial setting is
fine for most situations. To test the
shock sensor, strike your vehicle on
the hood directly over the alarm.
If the shock sensor is too sensitive or
not sensitive enough, follow these
steps to set it to a different level.
1. With the alarm disarmed, hold
down FINDER until the alarm says
“Please adjust sensor now.”
2. Within 2 seconds, strike your
vehicle with as much force as you
want the alarm to respond to. The
alarm responds with “Thank you.”
Any shock equal to or greater
than the setting triggers the alert.
Notes:
• If you do not strike your vehicle
within 2 seconds, the alarm is set
to its highest sensitivity. This
could cause frequent false alerts.
• The shock sensor does not oper-
ate for 8 seconds after you arm
the system.
Setting the Current Sensor
If your vehicle has electronic acces-
sories that turn on and off automati-
cally while you are away from the
vehicle, the alarm might sound false
alerts. (The system can detect an
electric engine fan, and does not
sound a false alert when the fan
comes on.)
To disable the current sensor so ac-
cessories do not trigger an alert, dis-
arm the system. Then hold down
PANIC for about 2 seconds. The sys-
tem chirps twice.
To re-enable the current sensor, with
the system disarmed, hold down
PAN-
IC for about 2 seconds. The system
chirps once.
Notes:
• The current sensor does not
operate for 40 seconds after the
system arms.
• You can also try unplugging or
disconnecting electronic acces-
sories such as radar detectors or
cellular phones when you leave
your vehicle, instead of disabling
the current sensor, to prevent the
false alerts.
