Theft-Deterrent System
Your vehicle has a theft-deterrent alarm system. Once
armed, the system will sound the horn and flash the
parking lamps if the vehicle is tampered with.
Opening the doors may activate the alarm. See
“Disarming the System” later in this section for further
information on turning the system off.
Shock Sensor
A shock sensor triggers the alarm when it detects a blow
to your vehicle. It is located in the center floor console.
There are two levels of alarms via the shock sensor: two
horn blasts and the headlamp/parking lamps flash for
non
-threatening blows to the vehicle or a full
two
-minute alarm for harder blows to the vehicle. The
sensitivity can be adjusted if more or less 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.
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.
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.
