climate control to a high level, refer to

Alarm system
The concept
The vehicle alarm system responds:
> When a door, the hood, or the luggage
compartment lid is opened
> To movement in the vehicle's interior –
interior motion sensor
> Changing the vehicle's tilt if someone
attempts to steal the wheels or tow the
vehicle
> To interruption of battery voltage.
The system responds to unauthorized
vehicle entry and attempted theft by simul-
taneously activating:
> An acoustic alarm, which lasts for a
period of roughly 30 seconds
