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
Arming (setting) the alarm
