attempts to steal a wheel or tow the car.
Interior motion sensor For the interior motion sensor to function prop‐
erly, the windows and the glass sunroof must
be closed.
Avoiding unintentional alarms
The tilt alarm sensor and interior motion sensor
can be switched off together, such as in the fol‐
lowing situations:▷In duplex garages.▷During transport on car-carrying trains, at
sea or on a trailer.▷When animals are to remain in the vehicle.
