Legacy GT Shock Sensor
I just bought my Legacy GT sedan with the factory installed "perimeter security" system upgrade. I take this to mean the system uses a shock sensor to detect tampering with the car. I have tried to trigger the system without success. I have nudged & rocked the car while the system was "armed" (for more than 60 seconds) but the alarm did not activate.
Is this system less sensitive than a typical alarm system? I just want to be sure the system is operating properly so there will at least be some protection of the car.
I welcome your thoughts and suggestions.

To determine if your perimeter security alarm is working properly, arm the system and wait for approx. 40 seconds. After 40 seconds, kick the driver side tire a few times or hit on the steering wheel a few times and the alarm should beep a few times. If you continue kicking or hitting the steering wheel, the alarm should go off.
To see if your alarm system is proper working condition, try the following procedure. Roll your driver-side window down, close all doors and arm the system. Wait approx. 40 seconds and then unlock the door from the inside of the vehicle (manually, do not use the UNLOCK button) and this should set the alarm off. If it doesn't, make sure that your alarm is not on VALET mode.
I hope this helps.
