Yep, sensors inside the cabin are set off by wind, etc.

You can shut it off bby pushing the button on the bottom of the b-pillar with the door open or some nonsense. It's in the manual.

mine was actually going off one night unexplainably...

i kept going out to turn it off. the windows and sunroof were closed, i couldn't explain it. i figured i'd go start the car and turn it off just to kind of *reset* things. well when i opened the driver door, looked down and i saw one of the largest damned cockroaches EVER! i had to get the ***** up to pick your boy up and throw him out the door, i knew if i didn't get him out now, he'd run under something and multiply. well i picked him up and threw him as far as i could. how random?!
