See this excerpt from the 2017 manual. It appears that the alarm is not activated by default, and needs to be enabled.



I actually don't know if I checked that the alarm came activated on my car... something I will check tonight.

I tried doing this with the window down and i was able to unlock the door and open the door with out any alarm triggering.

I'll have to admit that this keyless thingy takes getting use to, i used to always check that the doors is locked but now the door just opens again if i pull on the handle because the key is on me, I would have to toss the key away from the car and check, ..sometimes i forget to lock it because i never have the keyfob on my hands. I close the door and start walking away....then realize i have to walk back to touch handle or pull keyfob from pocket...
A better system would have been to lock the car as soon as you close the door and car detects keyfob is outside.

Thanks.

Was it not an issue on earlier cars that during delivery inspection or at the factory the alarm was disabled by default and never re-enabled during purchase inspection?

I seem to remember alot of people having that issue when I first joined the forums:
