✽✽NOTICE
 Do not activate the sensor if there are any chances the vehicle tilts by
the outward influences (for exam-
ple, ferry boat travelling, tower
parking etc.), because it could cause
the siren to sound inadvertently.
 Make sure all windows are close whilst the system operates. If not,
the sensor detects the inadvertent
movement inside the vehicle (for
example, blowing a wind or enter-
ing a butterfly) and it makes the
siren sounds.
 If boxes are piled high in the vehi- cle, the sensor may not detect the
movement behind the boxes. Also
the boxes may drop and it makes
the siren sounds.
 If the sensor is stained with for- eign matter such as cosmetics,
spray type air freshener, or spray
type window cleaner, the sensor
