Alarm system

The concept
The enabled alarm system reacts to the follow‐

▷ Opening of a door, the hood or the tailgate.
▷ Movements inside the vehicle.
▷ Changes in the vehicle tilt, e.g., during at‐
tempts to steal a wheel or tow the car.
▷ Interruptions in battery voltage.
Depending on the market-specific version, the
alarm system briefly signals unauthorized entry
attempts by:
▷ By sounding an acoustic alarm.
▷ By switching on the hazard warning system.
