yellowblue The adjustment for the shock sensor sensitivity can be accessed through a hole in the forward wall of the main bin of the center floor console. Arming the System The alarm system can be armed to detect break-ins by locking your vehicle using the keyless entry 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, the ignition is OFF and the keys have been removed from the ignition. When the system is armed, a red light will flash on the center floor console 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. Using a small flat-tipped screwdriver, turn the adjuster clockwise to increase sensitivity and turn counterclockwise to decrease sensitivity. The shock sensor is ignored by the alarm system when the ignition is on, when the tailgate or panel doors are open, when the alarm is disarmed, when 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. 2-14
