wind

[muey]

Hi all, the wind round here is pretty wild and keeps setting my alarm off. I have now locked it with the key rather than the remote. Its working so far , so fingers crossed . My query is, what have I disabled by locking with key ? Any advice would be more than welcome.
Thanks in advance
Regards Mark

I dont think it's alarmed with it locked using the key.

When locking with the key the alarm is activated but the doors do not deadlock and the interior sensor is disabled.

Copied from the driver's manual:

With the key:
1. Insert the key and turn the door lock towards the rear of
the car: (Operating tip: Locking with the key will not activate superlocking)
· all doors locked (not superlocked)
· perimetric alarm activated (protects the doors, bonnet and boot)
· NO INTERIOR SPACE PROTECTION
2. The direction indicator lights flash three times to confirm that the car is securely locked and the anti-theft alarm indicator light (in the instrument panel) starts to flash.

Thanks for the replies, alarm hasn't gone off again so far, I did have issues with water leakage into sat nav a few yrs ago, but with advice from here, that was also sorted. I can rest easy now I know things will be ok,

thanks guys,

Regards Mark
