Tilt Sensor (Alarm Inclination Sensor)
A tilt sensor triggers the car alarm if the car is jacked up or lifted while locked.
What is Tilt Sensor (Alarm Inclination Sensor)?
It helps protect against wheel theft. It also reacts when a car is towed away on a lift. It can usually be switched off before locking. Many cars ask whether to deactivate the tilt and interior sensors when locking with a double press of the key.
How it works
The sensor stores the car's angle when locked and triggers the alarm if it changes.
Why it matters for your car
Switch it off when the car travels on ferries or car transporters. Interior motion sensors are a separate function.
