Tkew 1st Gear September 1, 2004 Share September 1, 2004 Hi everyone, I am just wondering how does the Optra alarm sounds like? Since the day I collected my car till now, I have not figure out how I can get the alarm to sound, so that I will at least recognise my own car alarm. Anyone has figure out a way to make the alarm sound? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dashingd Neutral Newbie September 1, 2004 Share September 1, 2004 Hi, just leave 1 door open & arm your car. Wait 5 secs. You should hear it then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sotong_kia Neutral Newbie September 1, 2004 Share September 1, 2004 I dun think the Optra is programmed that way. If any of the door (boot included) is open, and you try to arm it, you will hear it lock, but the lights and arming sound will not come out. This is to indicate that arming is not complete. This is how I tested it when I took my car : Open driver side window. Close all doors Arm alarm manually pull the car-lock to unlock it. Open the door Alarm would sound.. just like a thief smash window and unlock your door.. It sounds like our stock horn.. high-pitched, without any bass.

Nicholas 5th Gear September 1, 2004 Share September 1, 2004 everyone has that Try this: After you pressed the alarm, tell yourself (say it out), I have pressed the alarm. That will work, at least for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sotong_kia Neutral Newbie September 1, 2004 Share September 1, 2004 You 22, not 32 ??? OMG I AM OLD !!! One thing about our optra, unlocking has NO SOUND. Thus, I also something wonder whether I would have accidentally pressed the unlock button when my back is to the car and putting the key in my pocket.. Paranoid.. My car alarm antenna like not very well located. If I am a few cars away, with 1 or 2 cars parked beside my car, and I am approaching from the BACK, seems not to be able to unlock until I get very very near the car (like 2 meters).. If approach from front, can get it slightly further away (about 5 meters).. But from my house (12 floor), I can lock and unlock without problems... So if forget where I park in MSCP, cannot press and try to hear the sound, cos sure cannot receive !! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escaflowne32 Neutral Newbie September 1, 2004 Share September 1, 2004 I always forget about my car lot because of my memory lost ... 1 time i when to sls(sim lim square) i when to the basement to park n i totally cant use the alarm to arm n disarm ... But i manage to arm it with a very close press ... But after i came back to the basement i totally forgotten where i park n was finding it for quick along time ... When i finally found it i cant disarm no matter how hard i try ... so i jus open the car with the key n the alarm sound ... was panicking n try pressing the alarm but to no avail ... Finally i decided to switch off the alarm with the manual off button ... Sigh people thought that i was stealing car man ...! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sotong_kia Neutral Newbie September 1, 2004 Share September 1, 2004 Er.. using your key to unlock the car would disarm it leh.. should not sound.. Also, where is the manual off button ? PM me.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zacer Clutched September 2, 2004 Share September 2, 2004 You look down near the accelerater padel. on the right of side there is a black button on edge. U can try but arming ur car. open with ur car key. when Alarm SOUNDS press the button it should off the alarm. I try it many times. cause my Alarm signal was weak but was replaced soon after. not sure about Optra can give it a try!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godfinger Neutral Newbie September 2, 2004 Share September 2, 2004 Hi The Alarm activation is connected to the room interior lamps. Therefore when the doors are opened, the alarm will sound if it was not disarmed before opening the door. You see every door have a door sensor which will send signal to the instrumention panel which will show the door ajar. Didnt you notice that if a door is ajar, the 'Door' lamp will illuminate irregardless of iginition key position. So that is the input signal for alarm activation to be triggered. Even the boot have a sensor too. 'Door' lamp will illuminate when the boot is opened even if all four doors are closed. Thought I have highlighted before that Aveo alarm system is fitted locally by Wheels alarm system.. I would say that Wheels system is a very good system cos you can even fit an electronic shock sensor to it and this additional sensor will sound the alarm when the car is rocked sideways..

Cashiertan Neutral Newbie September 2, 2004 Share September 2, 2004 (edited) Dun anyhow recommend leh. Ginko is useful mainly for elderly and they dun work so good for 22 years old. Also ginko if anyhow take can suffer from side effects like toxic overloaded and non-stop bleeding from open wounds I think why he forget after a short while is becoz he thinks alot of things thats why his brain dun bother to remember the smaller things. I have his problem and consulted the doctors, telling yourself that you have lock the doors after locking it will help in remmebering locking of the doors. Try it!
