Same thing happened to me too. It freaked out the dog.
If you lock the car with key button and then hit the key button again, the red light on the underside of the rear view mirror will come on solid for a few seconds indicating you have disabled the motion detector and vehicle movement sensor (e.g. tow truck picks up your car).

RTFM...
It's all explained in the manual...
When locking the car, press the lock nutton once to lock and right after for a second time to deactivate the interior motion sensors and the sensor which triggers alarm when the car gets towed.
Thanks for the tip

So i like to take my dog around in my car and some places I have to leave him in the car while i run in. He somehow manages to set off the alarm. Hes a small dog so he just walks around in the front.
So i have tried to lock myself in the car and cant find which button or what hes doing to set off the alarm. anyone have any ideas?

2) You can deactivate it, just like you can deactivate the Tilt Sensor too. (You did know there's a tilt sensor in the car as well, right?)

Have you tried to read the manual that came with the car - they printed it for a reason.

Also be sure to deactivate when taking a rest in a rest stop. If not, the results could be quite interesting
