Content Theft-Deterrent 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
the knob clockwise to
increase sensitivity
and
turn
it 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 it is 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.
