lowing:
• Wind or the movement of objects such asleaves and insects inside the vehicle
• Ultrasonic waves emitted from devices such as the intrusion sensors of other
vehicles
• The movement of people outside the vehicle
●Unstable items, such as dangling accesso-
ries or clothes hanging on the coat hooks,
