Alarm system

[Foop]

I just bought a nearly perfect gray 1990 Reatta and have a question

about the alarm system.I cant figure out how it works.I did manage to

set it off at 3 AM the other night and could not figure out how to

turn it off.The owners manual says nothing about it.

Any help out there??????????

Thanx Foop

Nice Reatta.

Does it have an aftermarket alarm? I'm assuming it doesn't, but always a good thing to ask.

Otherwise, Reattas came stock with a passive alarm system. If it goes off, put the key in the driver's door (can't remember if it works on the passenger side, but maybe) and turn it. Should turn off. The alarm will go off if you do something like lock the doors with either the power locks or remote and open a door from the inside (like locking someone in and them getting out).

IF YOU WANT IT TO GO OFF JUST PUT YOUR WINDOW DOWN GET OUT LOCK YOUR DOOR THEN REACH IN UNLOCK THE DOOR MANUALLY AND OPEN DOOR THIS SHOULD SET IT OFF BUT NOT AT 3AM !!

My bad. If I understand it, you need to wait something like a minute for the alarm to actually arm (after locking the doors)

To set off, just lock the doors with the windows down and close it. Then reach inside & unlock & open door.

To disarm unlock either door with the key.
