ABSTRACT:
A system for deterring theft of a vehicle having a plurality of opening and closing parts (doors, hood, trunk lid, etc.) divided into a first group of opening and closing parts (singular or plural) and a second group of opening and closing parts (singular or plural) includes an alarm device for outputting an alarm exteriorly of the vehicle, an open/closed state sensor for sensing individual open and closed states of each of the plurality of opening and closing parts and outputting signals indicative of the states sensed, a device for sensing that an ignition signal for starting the vehicle engine has been generated, a first setting device for setting the vehicle to a first armed phase in response to driver operation, a first actuating device for actuating the alarm in the first armed phase in response to at least one signal from among the ignition signal and signals indicative of the open states of the plurality of opening and closing parts, a second setting device for setting the vehicle from the first armed phase to a second armed phase in response to driver operation, and a second actuating device for actuating the alarm in the second armed phase in response to at least one signal from among the ignition signal and signals indicative of the open states of the plurality of opening and closing parts belonging solely to the second group. Thus, theft is deterred not only in the first armed phase but also in the second armed phase.
