System which protects and provides a deterrent against the theft of your vehicle. It provides two types of protection, exterior and interior, as well as an antitamper function.
Exterior perimiter protection
The system detects opening of the vehicle. The alarm is triggered if anyone tries to enter the vehicle by forcing a door, the boot or the bonnet.
Interior volumetric protection
The system detects any variation in the volume in the passenger compartment. The alarm is triggered if anyone breaks a window or moves inside the vehicle.
If you wish to leave a pet in the vehicle or a window partially open, deactivate the interior volumetric protection.
Anti-tamper function
The system detects the putting out of service of its components.
The alarm is triggered if anyone tries to put the wires of the siren, the central control or the battery out of service.
Do not make any modifi cations to the alarm system, this could cause malfunctions.
