It will not take batteries. It can be shut off with a key - On my car it's at the rear RHS of the engine bay near the RHS suspention sphere behind cover. It's got a label BOSCH ALARM. You can try to disarm the motion sensors: when the doors are closed and the ignition off before leaving the vehicle press the motion sensors button (labelled something like o)))))))) ) until the red LED for the alarm comes on. When you then leave the vehicle and trigger the alarm the motion sensors will be off.
