Security System Features (cont’d) PRE-WARN DETECTION This system’s impact sensor is designed, in addition to detecting a full impact, to warn away potential violators when it detects a light impact to the vehicle. The system will respond by chirping the siren/horn 3 times and locking the doors. This is very useful when an intruder attempts to unlock the door with “slim jim” types of devices. WHEN THE SYSTEM TRIGGERS It will sound the siren/horn and flash the parking lights for 30 seconds (selectable).
