When the alarm system is in the set condition, use the inner lock knob to unlock the door, and open the door. Check if the alarm condition happens (horn sounds continuously, hazard light blinks, security indicator illuminates). Check if this condition lasts for a maximum of three minutes or until the "UNLOCK" button of the keyless transmitter or the access key is pressed.
NOTE: The alarm condition will continue for 3 minutes with the door opened, and the alarm condition will cease within 30 seconds once the door is closed after alarm activation.
On models equipped with an impact sensor, hit the windshield glass with your hand with the alarm system in the monitoring set condition, to check that the alarm condition occurs.
