yellowblue If the alarm is sounding because an incorrect ignition key was used, press any button on the remote keyless entry transmitter to turn the alarm off. The alarm will stop by itself after two minutes. The shock sensor is what triggers the alarm when it detects a blow to your vehicle. It is located over the right rear wheelhouse near the spare tire in the hatch area. There are two levels of alarms via the shock sensor. Two horn blasts and parking lamp flashes for non-threatening blows to the vehicle and a full two-minute alarm for harder blows to the vehicle. Its sensitivity can be adjusted if more or less sensitivity is desired. If sensitivity is increased too much, it may give false alarms caused by gusts of wind or other natural events that may shake the vehicle. To adjust, remove the label covering the adjustment knob and adjust as desired. Turn the knob clockwise to increase sensitivity and counterclockwise to decrease sensitivity. The shock sensor is ignored by the alarm system when the ignition is on, when the hatch is 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. Shock Sensor Coupe Convertible 2-14
