Friends: 0 |  An alarm went off -- why? I have a 2010 Prius II. I was sitting in my house, when I heard the blare of an alarm or horn. I ran out to the Prius -- and as soon as i opened the garage door, the noise stopped. Why did this loud beeping occur - it was really loud! |

I had the samething happen to me, but I carry the car fob in my left pocket with a fairly large Winchester pocket knife. What I figured happened was that moving around while sleeping in my recliner I must have caused the knife to press the alarm on my fob? The funny part is like you as soon as I opened the door into the garage it went silent, don't think I pressed it to make it stop but am not sure. Don't know for sure just that it could have happened. | |

Friends: 1 | Re: An alarm went off -- why? I had my 2004 Prius for over 5 years. During the last month or two (before I got my 2010 Prius), the alarm started going off. I always keep the fob in my pants pocket. I decided that I must have gotten into some positiion lying on the couch (watching TV) where something in my pocket pressed the panic alarm button. I don't know why it never happened before, but it happened twice in the last few months. |
