KEYS, DOORS, AND WINDOWS
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 movement of the
vehicle, such as a change in vehicle
orientation.
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.
