The concept

The vehicle alarm system responds to:

▷ Opening of a door, the hood or the trunk lid.

▷ Movements in the vehicle.

▷ Changes in the vehicle tilt, e.g., during attempts to steal a wheel or when towing the car.

▷ Interruptions in battery voltage.

The alarm system briefly indicates tampering:

▷ By sounding an acoustic alarm.

▷ By switching on the hazard warning system.

▷ By flashing the daytime running lights.
