It also comprises an arming device (20, 21) for detecting that the vehicle is being used in order automatically to arm the device (19) as soon as it is detected that the vehicle is being used, and a device (21a) for interrupting the armed state as soon as, for a predetermined length of time, no use of the vehicle has been detected.
