THEFT DETERRENT When the system is armed ALARM TRIGGERING While the system is armed, the alarm will sound and the vehicle's starter will be disabled under the following conditions: S If any of the doors are opened. S If the window glass is struck and/or broken. S If power to the system is interrupted (for example, due to a dead battery or a blown fuse) then restored. After about 1 minute, the alarm will automatically stop and reset, but the vehicle's starter will remain disabled until the system is disarmed. ALARM TRIGGERING BY THE GLASS BREAKAGE SENSOR A specially tuned microphone is mounted in the status monitor next to the LED. This microphone is tuned to detect the sound of tapping on or breaking of the vehicle's window glass. The sensor has been specifically adjusted by the factory for your vehicle. The glass breakage sensor triggers the system in two ways: 1. When the sound of tapping or breaking of glass is detected, the system will first sound the alarm 3 times as a warning. 2. If the glass is tapped on or broken within 5 seconds of the first detection, the system will trigger for about 1 minute. REACTIVATING THE SYSTEM After the alarm has been triggered, the system will reset itself. The alarm will sound again under the same circumstances as listed in "Alarm Triggering". Once armed, the system can be triggered and reset 10 times and the alarm will sound. After the system has been triggered 10 times, the alarm will no longer sound, but the vehicle's starter will continue to remain disabled.* * After disarming then arming the system, the alarm can sound again. STOPPING THE ALARM Push the transmitter's top button once. The alarm will stop, the doors will unlock, and the vehicle's starter will work again. OR Insert the key into the ignition switch, and turn it to "ON" twice. ("ON" → "LOCK" → "ON") The alarm will stop, and the vehicle's starter will work again. Note: Pushing and holding the transmitter's top button for more than 2 seconds activates the Panic Mode. For additional information, see "Sounding an alarm (Panic Mode)" on page 9. 85
