Heartbeat Sensor
The heartbeat sensor function is a comple-
ment to the vehicle\fs standard alarm, and indi-
cates at a distance of up to 300 ft (100 m) that
someone may be in the vehicle. The heartbeat
sensor only functions if the alarm has been
triggered.
NOTE The heartbeat sensor registers a person\fs
heartbeat in the form of vibrations in the
vehicle\fs chassis. For this reason, the sen-
sor\fs function may be impaired in areas with
high levels of noise or vibrations.
