Notes on the security alarm
function
• The security alarm function will improve a car’s
security level, helping to protect it with an
integrated impact sensor in the unit. An operation
of the security alarm requires correct installation
of the unit, and proper sensitivity setting and the
activation of the function in the setup display.
• The security alarm function is not designed to
replace a dedicated security system, or interact
with such systems or their accessories. Installation
and/or use of the unit with the security alarm
function does not guarantee partial or total
protection against damage, theft, vandalism or
other actions.
If you have any questions or problems concerning
your unit that are not covered in this manual, consult
your nearest Sony dealer.
