Function Two stage shock sensor Programmable

This feature provides the warning against possible intrusion into the vehicle in
armed condition. Incase of intrusion attempt or a shock , the shock sensor senses it
& triggers the alarm giving warning to the user.

Sensitivity of the sensor against shock can be adjusted by a setting screw (refer the
photograph). To adjust the sensitivity , first the feature has to be enabled using the
programming. Once the feature is enabled , the security system module has to be
accessed by opening the centre console . Adjustments have to be done to the screw
to get the desired sensitivity.

The system will be highly sensitive to the shock if position of the screw is at
maximum (Turn clockwise) and is less sensitive if the position is at minimum (Turn
anti-clockwise).

Sensitivity decreases Sensitivity increases

If turned anti clockwise If turned clockwise
