18.6.2.3. A mechanical key or an electrical/electronic device within the protected passenger compartment, with timed exit/entry delay.
18.7. Exit delay
 If the switching device for setting the AS is fitted within the protected area, an exit delay shall be provided.  It shall be possible for the exit delay to be set to between 15 seconds and 45 seconds after the switch has been operated.  The delay period may be adjustable to suit individual operators' circumstances.
18.8. Entry delay
 If the device for unsetting the VAS is fitted within the protected area, a delay of 5 seconds minimum and 15 seconds maximum shall be allowed before the activation of the audible and optical signals.  The delay period may be adjustable to suit individual operators' circumstances.
18.9. Status display
18.9.1. To provide information on the status of the AS (set, unset, alarm setting period, alarm has been activated), the installation of optical displays is allowed inside and outside the passenger compartment.  The light intensity of optical signals installed outside the passenger compartment shall not exceed 0.5 cd.
18.9.2. If an indication of short-term "dynamic" processes such as changes from "set" to "unset" and vice versa is provided, it shall be optical, according to paragraph 18.9.1. Such optical indication may also be produced by the simultaneous operation of the direction indicators and/or passenger compartment lamp(s), provided that the duration of the optical indication by the direction indicators does not exceed 3 seconds.

18.11. Specifications for optional functions
18.11.1. Self check, automatic failure indication
 On setting the AS, irregular situations, e.g. open doors, etc., can be detected by a self-check function (plausibility control), and this situation is indicated.
18.11.2. Panic alarm
 An optical and/or audible and/or radio alarm is allowed independent of the state (set or unset) and/or function of the AS.  Such an alarm shall be triggered from within the vehicle and shall not affect the state (set or unset) of the AS.  Also it must be possible for the vehicle user to switch off the panic alarm. In the case of an audible alarm, its sounding duration per activation shall not be restricted.  A panic alarm shall not immobilise the engine or stop it if it is running.
