Tow-away Protection

Tow-away protection is designed to
prevent any attempt to steal the vehicle by
suspended tow or lifting it onto a trailer.
The alarm is triggered if the vehicle is
raised or tilted in any way.
Tow-away protection is armed
approximately 30 seconds after the vehicle
has been locked and is disarmed when the
vehicle is unlocked.
