Alarm system

The concept

The alarm system, when activated, reacts if:

A door, the engine compartment lid or the
tailgate is opened

There is movement inside the car

The car’s inclination changes, for example if
an attempt is made to jack it up and steal the
wheels or to raise it prior to towing it away

There is an interruption in the power supply
from the battery

The alarm system briefly indicates unauthorized
entry or tampering by means of:

An acoustic alarm

Switching on the hazard warning flashers
