Default There should be a button on the lower part of the driver side B Pillar...
To test it, simply roll your windows down and activate the alarm (locking your door). Stick your arms in the car while it is armed and it should go off after waiving it a few times.

Default The motion sensor is for the interior
When you arm the alarm, it's activated. The button on your B pillar deactivates it. That way you can keep the windows down without worrying about the wind setting the alarm off.

Default It senses moving air, instead of being a true motion detector.
If you leave the windows open and lock the car it will usually set off the alarm the first strong gust of wind. But if you stick your arm in the open window and waive it around it generally won't activate.

Actually, you're right. It becomes too sensitive in that respect.

Default Yep, it's sensitive to pressure more than motion
Like the pressure caused by breaking a window
