• A warning lamp in the driver’s door will flash if the alarm has been
triggered by the volumetricsensor. This flashing is different from that of the
activated alarm.
• If the volumetricsensor has caused the alarm to set off three times the
alarm system will no longer go off.
• Other sensors (door opening, luggage compartment, etc.) will continue to
set off the alarm.
