Answer 1

Check your options list. Maybe you do not have any alarm at all.

Pls. note that the anti-theft (EWS) is different fromn the burglar alarm

(DWA).

Answer 2

In my BMW and Mazda6, the car doors must be locked in order for the alarm to go off when you pop the trunk with your remote. Mine works fine. If your doors are locked, and your alarm still isn't going off, I'd say you have an issue. Take it to the dealership.
