vehicle; however, you can create conditions where the
system will give you a false alarm. If one of the previ-
ously described arming sequences has occurred, the

hood latch, and liftgate for unauthorized entry and the
ignition switch for unauthorized operation. The system
also includes a dual function intrusion sensor and
vehicle tilt sensor. The intrusion sensor monitors the
vehicle interior for motion. The vehicle tilt sensor
monitors the vehicle for any tilting actions (tow away,
tire removal, ferry transport, etc). A siren with battery
backup which senses interruptions of power and com-
munications is also included.

tem, the siren will sound for 29 seconds and the

the end of any particular trigger event, the lights will
continue to flash for 26 seconds.
