the vehicle is occupied. In case of an accident, this may hinder rapid access to the occupants of the vehicle.

pg. 43 Alarm
Alarm
The radio signal emitted from the transmitter, which is used to set/unset the alarm, is a "rolling code" signal. This
means that the signal is changed randomly for each transmission and is intended to help prevent unauthorized
recording of the code.
When armed (set), the alarm continuously monitors a number of points on the car. The following conditions will set off
the alarm:
· The hood is opened
· The trunk/tailgate is opened
· A door is opened
· The ignition switch is tampered with
The alarm will sound for 30 second intervals, with a 10 second pause between intervals. This function cannot be
interrupted.
· If the battery or the siren are disconnected, the alarm will sound for five minutes
