Anti-Theft Switch / Anti-Theft Tow Sensor

The Anti-Theft Tow Sensor is an inclination sensor that contains electrodes which are partially immersed in an electrically conductive liquid. If the conductive value between the electrodes changes, the sensor recognizes a change in the inclination of the vehicle. When the vehicle is parked, the value for the vehicle position is stored. If the vehicle is moved with a certain inclination in longitudinal and/or lateral direction for a certain time when the anti-theft alarm system is activated, the Anti-Theft Tow Sensor transmits an alarm signal to the CLP/SSM. In order to allow the vehicle to be towed or transported without sounding the alarm Siren, the Anti-Theft Tow Sensor can be deactivated by pressing the Anti-Theft Switch which is located in the passenger compartment on the center console in front of the shift lever.
