Question:

Why does my car alarm go off?

I‘ve just recently bought a 2005 3 door Hyundai Accent.To open the boot you must use the lever under the driver‘s seat or by turning the key in the boot.So, if I bring shopping etc. to my car, I need to use the key in the boot, but if I don‘t unlock the car first with the keyless entry, then the alarm goes off.Why does it do this? I might just want to put stuff in the boot then leave the car as it is still locked, but the alarm would go off.Is there any way to change it?

Answer:

My car works the same way. But that's a good thing. Do you want thieves to get into your trunk without the alarm going off? A thief can easily force the trunk open using just a screw driver instead of a key. But think about this: If you were to unlock the DOOR without disarming the car the alarm will sound also. So it is NOT just the trunk (boot). If your car is like most cars, the alarm will automatically re-arm itself. Good Luck.
I have heard that Hyundais are a nightmare with the car alarms. Then again, they are the least stolen vehicle on the road. Maybe that is why. Maybe call your local Hyundai dealer and see if they know what is causing it.
My bad, I keep trying to brake into it but your always there HA Anyhow the dealership would be able to change the alarms sensitivity but I think once the Key less entry arms the car it will not allow the key to deactivate it, I would recommend just hitting the unlock feature on your key before you take your bags out as it will sound every time you disturb the vehicles bubble
