monitoring:


- Exterior perimeter
The system checks for opening of
the vehicle.
The alarm is triggered if anyone tries

in the volume in the passenger com-
partment.
The alarm is triggered if anyone breaks a window, enters the passenger com-
partment or moves inside the vehicle.

in the attitude of the vehicle.
