ALARM
System which protects and provides a
deterrent against the theft of your vehi-

exterior perimeter and interior volumet-
ric, as well as an anti-tamper function.

the vehicle.
If you wish to leave a pet in the ve-
hicle or a window partially open,
deactivate the interior volumetric
protection.

of service of its components.
The alarm is triggered if anyone
tries to put the siren wiring, the cen-
tral control unit or the battery out of
