Theft-DeterrenUAlarm System
(If Equipped)
If your vehicle has this option, it has a theft-deterrent
alarm system. Once armed, the system will sound the
horn and flash the parking lamps if the vehicle is
broken into.
Shock Sensor
Coupe Convertible
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. (Note:
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 to the right
(clockwise) to increase sensitivity and turn to the left
(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.
