Alarm system

The concept
The vehicle alarm system responds:
> When a door, the hood or the
luggage compartment lid are opened
> To movement inside the vehicle (inte-
rior motion sensor)
> Altering the vehicle tilt, e. g. as would
occur while attempting to steal the
wheels or tow the vehicle (Tilt alarm
sensor system)
> To interruption of battery voltage.
The system responds to unauthorized
vehicle entry and attempted theft by
simultaneously activating the following:
> Sounding an acoustical alarm for
30 seconds
> Activating the hazard warning
flashers for approx. five minutes
> Flashing the high beams on and off in
rhythm with the hazard warning
flashers.
