Can you park up with the sunroof open (tilt) and not have the alarm go off after some time?

I am guessing that if you press the button on the B pillar inside the car, that will disable the interior element of the alarm and then the alarm will jus monitor the outside and it should sit there happily with the roof open and no alarm.

ah, it that the little button on the right of the drivers seat, hidden down below, I thought it was an airbag switch or something

It is all explained in the manual!

The OP is obviously far too manly for that kind of thing

For info, pressing the lock button on the keyfob twice achieves the same as pressing the B-pillar.

Hmmm, that's interesting, I've stuck my arm through an open window after double button pressing and it's not set anything off. Hope this isn't like your rear seats!

Pressing the lock button twice on mine deactivates the interior sensors.

Unbelievable! If I wrote this, I'd get a boll0cking... I usually do! What's your trick Mike??

Yes mate, my motor definitely switches the ultrasonics off if I double press the alarm cos I keep driving to work and leaving the surnoof open, walk off and 5 minutes later it goes off, so I just get the keys from my locker and press the button twice from distance, no problem.

Yup, never used a single rude word when saying it in the past, yet I unleash the hounds of hell for even proposing it. How utterly ridiculous.

Apparently, I'm not inkeeping with the spirit of the forum for even suggesting that a manual might be the first place to look, depite the fact that someone's made a sticky with it online on here! Mindboggling!

It's one thing reading it when you got the car, but you can't remember it all (for each car) like The Highway Code that you supposedly remember all these years after passing your test.

Useful info about the fob. The number of times I've had the dogs set the alarm off whilst I've been queuing to pay for my fuel!

Now, can someone please tell me how to activate the sunroof net required to stop Houdini getting out through the roof. He can get a caribeener off his collar within minutes!

Agreed, but if you've got it in the first place then common sense surely would suggest that's your first point of call?? I know not everyone may know it's online, but a little checking would seem the order of the day. Some questions on here just scream of laziness to put any effort in to do any homework, that's all.

Just saying, but the one's who moan are usually the ones who don't do exactly that first cos they feel you're having a pop at them and they get all defensive cos they've had the obvious pointed out to them.

Tell me about it.

I used to be a Fleet Manager of a 600+ car fleet. The number of drivers who expected me to know about how to operate all the bits on their car, or hounding me on the status of their new car whilst I was trying to grab a quick lunch...

I've mellowed with age and I'm still looking for the manual that tells me why I went into that room then forgot what for!

Well my 54 plate seems to be different again -- first the rear seats, now this.........

On the 54 plate hatch, the double presson the remote fob DOES NOT disable the ultrasonics, as the dogs still set the alarm off unless the B-pillar button is pressed before closing the doors. But on the 08 plate estate, the ultrasonics ARE disabled.

The deadlocks are disabled on BOTH cars if the key fob is pressed twice, but ARE NOT disabled if the B-pillar button is pressed.

So it seems that the interior button doesn't disable the deadlocks, but the twin remote press does.

Mike

Mike mine behaves like your estate, 2 presses disables interior monitoring and deadlocks.
