The power sounder provides an audible alarm which is distinct from the vehicle’s horn. It has its own power source and can sound an alarm if the vehicle’s battery is compromised. The inclination sensor can set off the alarm if it senses the movement of the vehicle, such as when a tire is removed. Make sure the vehicle’s alarm is not armed prior to any jacking. The intrusion sensor monitors the vehicle interior and can activate the alarm if it senses unauthorized entry into the vehicle’s interior. Do not allow passengers or pets to remain in the vehicle when the intrusion sensor is activated.

Before arming the theft-deterrent system
and activating the intrusion sensor:

  • Make sure all doors and windows are completely closed.
  • Secure any loose items such as sun glasses.
  • Make sure there are no obstructions blocking the sensors in the front overhead console.
  • Close DVD screens before leaving the vehicle.
