Anti Theft System Question

I recently received my 05 BC (pkg 6) from an out of state dealer. I did not purchase any "port added options" other than the mats. More concisely, I did not add the glass break sensor. Having read through the forums, I understand that all the Prius packages contain the alarm system, although it may not be "turned on" in some of the base model packages. My problem, or at least my question, is that I think it may not be turned on in my car as well. The remote lock/unlock button works just fine, as does the smark key system. I have noticed that when I push the red alarm button on my fob, nothing happens. I haven't been able to lock the doors and then manually open them and get the alarm to sound.

I am a bit perplexed but not all that concerned as I think car alarms are just an annoyance anyway for most folks. I suppose I could bring it to the attention of the local dealership when I bring it in for the first service as a "warranty issue" and let them deal with it. Is there something I am overlooking or not understanding about how the alarm system works sans the optional glass break sensor?

Thanks for any suggestions. This is a great forum and I love my car!

Thanks Dan. I knew I should have used an alias before posting something that I was doing wrong
It does work. My last car had no delay and I occasionally set it off by accident. Perhaps one of the reasons I am not all that enthusiastic about car alarms. Mine seems to work fine.

Thanks again
