Vehicle Alarms: Avoiding false alarms

Alarm sensitivity settings

If your vehicle's alarm is going off when it shouldn't, have the system's sensors checked. The sensitivity may be set too high.

Smart alarms

If you are buying a new alarm system, consider one with "smart alarm" features. These units adjust automatically to their surroundings.

Remote alarm controls

Remote alarm controls can sometimes be a weak link. Look for an alarm with scanning protection. This feature prevents randomly generated signals from deactivating the alarm. Also, try to get a system with code-grabbing protection. This feature prevents someone from intercepting the remote's signal and reproducing it.
