The interior movement detector and tilt
alarm sensor are not active because the
doors, bonnet or tailgate are not closed
correctly. Correctly closed access points are
secured.
Once the remaining open access points
have been closed, the interior movement
detector and tilt alarm sensor are switched
on.
▷ The indicator light extinguishes after the
vehicle has been unlocked:
This means that the vehicle is not being
tampered with.
▷ The indicator light flashes after unlocking
until drive-ready state is switched on, but
for no longer than approximately 5 minutes:
The alarm has been triggered.

via emergency detection of the vehicle key.
