I got this from the manual: ( p24 )
The system is activated:
â– Automatically, 30 seconds after
locking the vehicle (initialisation of
the system)
â– Directly by pressing = on the radio
remote control once more after
locking
I have noticed that if I hit the lock button on the remote 2x too quickly the alarm may sound.
It seems that by locking the door with one press - the alarm system is automatically engaged after 30 seconds anyway.
Just a thought.
[ I also seem to remember that I could activate the alarm on one of my previous vehicles by double clicking the lock button quickly ...... this was an intended feature - not sure why ?? ]
Hi Ken,
I hope that you and the Antara had a good holiday in France, any exciting pics?
Your quote from the manual has got me concerned, as I was under the impression that one press just locked all the doiors and the second press armed the system. If as the book says the system arms automatically after 30 secs then how do you just lock it. I have now travelled 4 times on long ferry crossings and each time I was under the impression that the alarm was not set.
I also have had the odd alarm trigger and the cause was uasually an insect that had got in and started moving about.
If I remember correctly I had a Volvo 740 many years ago that had an extra button on the fob, pressing it activated the alarm siren as a form of panic alarm, perhaps the Antara has a similar but un documented feature.
