From the manual:
 
How to Arm the System
 
1. Remove the key from the ignition
switch.
 
(With advanced key)
Turn the start knob to the LOCK
position.
 
2. Make sure the hood is closed. Close
and lock all doors and the liftgate from
the outside using the key or press the
lock button on your keyless entry
system transmitter.
 
(With advanced key)
Press a request switch or the lock
button on the transmitter.
The hazard warning lights will flash
once to indicate that the system is
armed.
 
(Without advanced key)
The following method will also arm the
theft-deterrent system:
Close the hood and the liftgate . Press
the area on the door-lock switch
marked “[LOCK-SYMBOL]” once. Close all doors.

I already read that in the manual. I tried that and I still get nothing. Is there some delay before the alarm arms itself? I waited about 30 seconds and then tried to open the door from the inside. No alarm.
 
thnx

I'll admit that I've never owned a car or alarm this smart, but maybe it knows you are opening from the inside and thus disregards it? There's a lot of logic behind that these days with parents leaving their kids locked in a car in the summer heat, etc.
 
I've always gathered that one keyfob lock does the job; two keyfob pushes just sounds the horn for those kinds of people that open the mailbox to make sure their mail went down the slot... (Think Meg Ryan in "When Harry Met Sally")

Thinking about this some more... I was under the impression that while the car comes with an engine immobilization system (meaning you can't start the car without the key that has the computer chip in it) they do NOT all come with theft-deterrent alarms. I'm not sure I remember correctly, but I think the alarm only comes with the Tech Package.
 
Anyone know for sure?

Either I dont have an alarm or its not functioning. Can anyone with a Sport model and no tech package confirm they have an audible alarm when opening the doors?

Oh for cryin' out loud....just take the car to the dealership and have them tell you what is or what isn't. This endless banter back and forth on this forum is driving me nuts!
 
Other than that, have a happy day!

Even on my Grand Touring, it takes a minute or two for the alarm to set after you close the doors. I've done exactly what you've done but I waited a few minutes before opening doors.
Try it again and wait a little bit...

Drive to the dealer? Geeze, that's no fun.
 
Not to mention that it's 50/50 whether they'd know either, LOL.

Oh sorry . I thought the forums is where people go to ask other people ?'s or look for advice. My mistake. I have a better idea if you dont like "the endless banter" dont click on the subject!!
