Anti-theft alarm

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2001 Saab 9-3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The car can be factory-fitted with an anti-theft alarm, of which there are two variants:

Variant 1 consists of; door switches, bonnet switch, luggage compartment switch and glass breakage sensor.
Variant 2; as above plus a tilt sensor, which trips the alarm if an attempt is made to steal the wheels.

The anti-theft alarm has a piezoelectric siren. The siren has an integral battery to ensure that an alarm can be given even if the power from the car's ordinary battery (car battery) is interrupted. The siren is located at the front of the left wheel housing.

The behaviour of the alarm when tripped is market-dependent and programmable.
