Default Car Alarm Test?

Whats the easiest way for checking to see if my car alarm works without hitting the car with a hammer?

Very simple:
-turn the ign on
-lower the DS window
-turn ing off
-lock the doors using the electric switch,
-step out and close the door (with the window still down),
-reach in and unlock the door using the manual lever
-...beep, beep, beep...beep

Also, if you lock it but don't close the door the alarm will sound in 30 seconds or so.

I don't have a PKE and this happened to me. I didn't know what to do for a second and then it dawned on me to put the key in the ignition and turn the car on.
