Title: Stupid Question - What's This Button?
Post by: Betty02 on March 25, 2011, 03:00:31 pm: So stupid and can't believe I haven't spotted this yet what is it for?

Some sort of alarm I'm guessing?

Thanks for that how do I tell if the interior sensors are active or de-active? Just I've done that whole lock yourself in the car and wobble about and my alarm didn't go off :(

Post by: Richn83 on March 25, 2011, 03:35:35 pm: As said top half to disable sensors bottom anti-tilt sensor.

How did you lock your car before testing the sensor? if you use the switch on the door the alarm wont arm, I have set mine off before when sat in the back and I locked the doors using the remote. I believe the switch only deactivates for the next time the car is alarmed and will default back to ultrasonics on, same with tilt. The time I set the alarm off it was a good 5-10 minutes before the alarm triggered so it may have a timer before the sensor is triggered.

Post by: mark01348 on March 26, 2011, 10:12:16 am: I read about that anti tilt alarm button but in my daily job I reqularly use a recovery trailer (front axle lift) and you must have the key in and steering lock disengaged.
Is the button for use on flatbeds I wonder?

Post by: Eddie-NL on March 26, 2011, 01:54:37 pm: The inclination sensor is for when the more sophisticated thieves that have access to a crane come to take your pride and joy.

A lot of the budget Vag range Skoda and Seat don't have them

Also when I upgraded my CCM it had a Alarm trigger that was logged due to the inclination sensor. So the car had been in an accident and was towed or carried away
