Alarm

My SmartCar alarm went off for no reason. I unlocked the car, locked it, and the alarm went off again after a few minutes. Has this happened to others?

I have had the same problem. I noticed that it stopped when I closed the shade on the roof. Not sure if that really had anything to do with it????

Sometimes the sensors are mounted incorrectly or simply "bad" and taken care of under warranty at the dealer.

Get it back to the dealer, you most likely have a bad sensor.

Untill then, Hit the Button on the dash to turn it off when towing, it also turns off the inside sensor.
