Title: GC alarm
Post by: CaptainColourful on March 02, 2007, 00:49:52: Is it possible to disarm the alarm when I leave the dog in the back ?

The central locking seems to have 2 positions, one click on remote locks then 2nd click it makes another clunk, (deadlock ?)

I can't get the dog to lay down and not poke his head above the seats... do I need to buy a hammer for him, or is there a way of locking the car without the alarm going off ?

Anyone know where I can get a cheap (yet functional) hammer for the dog? :?: Oh just had a thought... would holding him down with a cargo net work do you think :?:

I have tried the driver's door,I will try the passenger door to see if that works.
It's just a standard alarm/immobiliser set up as far as I know. Alane's kindly sent me an owners manual but there's nothing in there to help me with this particular prob.

I can lock all my doors perfectly well with just the key, it doesn't involve any of the electrics so you don't hear the central locking.

BTW no locking yourself into a darkened room alone with ya new manual!!! lol

Post by: CaptainColourful on March 04, 2007, 20:26:09: Thanks both of you.
I figured out that the central locking doesn't work if I use the key in the driver's door so yesterday I locked the other doors with the driver's door button then used the key to lock it, I am not sure if the alarm was set or not ( that dog's never there when I need him).
When I get time I will get the dog or SWMBO to sit inside while I play and try to figure it all out.

The owners manual is helpful Alane, thanks again, but they only talk about the immobiliser not the alarm. Is the alarm just on UK cars do you think ?

There are several helpful tips though... my favourite is the one which tells you that you are liable for any re-painting of the bodywork due to branch scratches etc whilst offroading.... that isn't covered in the warranty :lol:
