Abstract

An arrangement for a motor vehicle with a central locking system and an anti-theft alarm system is controlled by a control device which both systems have in common and which monitors the operating condition of the systems. For this purpose, the locked condition and the unlocked condition of all locks or doors of the motor vehicle is monitored by additional switching contacts. A differentiation is made between at least three operating conditions which are indicated by visually distinguishable flashing signals output by electro-optical indicating elements in the door locking buttons by visually distinguishable flashing signals.
