Try not to hand over your car keys; be sure to set the alarm to “Valet” mode. Do not leave key fobs at the service station. Don't forget to return it to its original security mode. This is a good theft prevention.
Additional alarm

- Engine blocking using a relay installed in the engine compartment. Control must be carried out via a code channel, or more reliably via a radio channel;
- Ensuring protection of the diagnostic connector to eliminate the possibility of registering additional keys;
- To prevent theft of the control unit in the engine compartment, install a safe on it in the engine compartment.
Can be activated additional functions provided by this signaling option. Mechanical protection installed on steering wheel or gearbox. Together with standard protection, the ERA-GONLASS system, additional and by mechanical means the owner does not have to worry about protecting the car from theft, Lada Vesta will be protected.
