my 02 touring system works as an alarm. here is an easy way to see if yours does too...
open your door and lock the car with the remote, the light in the dash should start blinking rapidly. then unlock your door with your hand and close the door. wait for the light to stop blinking rapidly, when it becomes a slow blink, the alarm is set. open your door. if the headlights flash and the horn blasts, then you have an alarm. this is what mine does. the system will stay on until you disarm it with the remote, or after a period of time. it is also supposed to let you know if it has been activated while you are away, i think it honks three times or something to let you know. i know that newer models have had lots of things cut from them, so not sure if the system still works like this. give it a try and let us know!
