Car Alarm

I just bought a 2008 Fit Sport. Unfortunately I did not know there is an alarm installed. Today the horn started going off and I could not get it to stop. Eventually it went off by itself. There is nothing in my manual about it. Anyone know where I can get documentation for the alarm?

Thanks

Should be in your quick start guide, but if you didnt get one here is a scan of the page you need.

My Fit Sport says it has a security system. I never looked into it til now but I think its an immobilizer system not a break-in alarm. And its not on the base model.
If the hood, door, tailgate,or audio disconnects the alarm goes off (horn) for about 20 seconds. Bumping the Fit can also initiate the alarm.
There is no glass breakage alarm.
Only the key button or switching the ignition on stops the alarm.
Because the reference voltage drops to zero that should immobilize the Fit as well.

If your alarm goes off and you need it to stop, press the "panic" button. Its little and red.

I had a similar problem. It really did not sound like a security system. It was a rather faint meep meep. It started after the car had been sitting for awhile. I opened and closed a door and it seemed to have cured it.

One other time I had door open and working on dome light circuit and had the same meep meep start up.

Any idea what caused this or should I just read the manual?

Thanks
