but in a scenario where you're stopped at a red light and someone opens your door to pull you out (let's hope that never happens)
the intelliguard detects the open door and immediately starts a count down (45 seconds)
at this point you need to enter your pin.... and if you don't within that time frame the vehicle will shut off and disable ignition...
off course it won't just shut down in the middle of a highway but the moment you slow down or come to a stop at a light it will....
pretty cool....
just something to consider...

I had a very similar system years back on a Viper.. its was pretty cool, but you do get annoyed with having to keep entering the code (in my case it was hitting a hidden button) every time you open the door with the car being on...
Its a security feature which can become an annoyance, but can save your car "possibly"
Think of it another way, if a thief carjacks your car, he is going to gun it and not likely stop for many lights, who knows what would happen next and he does get pissed off of the car shutting down on him with the sirens going off, he may even shoot up the car from the frustration.
