Locking the car??

I have indeed done a search but the thread was confusing where some people claim 1 press and some claiming 2?

I was told 2 presses by the previous owner for alarm+ deadlocks, however some people on here have been saying its just 1.

Obviously i want to arm my car correctly, but what is it?

1 or 2?

ONE press only!!!!!!!!

If you press twice you lock the car but deactivate the alarm

You can press it twice to lock, and then deadlocks are activated - with the alarm still active.

The best way of seeing if your alarm is still active is if the red LED by the door pin/where the door pin should be, is still flashing

in leons the locking is reversed. One press on the remote locks the car and arms the dealocks. If you lock with two presses you disable the deadlocks.

Simple test sit in the car and try it. I thought it was the other way 1 press (no deadlocks) 2 presses (with deadlocks) same as in my Focus but nope so in fact I spent 6 months leaving my car in some weird places with deadlocks off.

The alarm is active with 1 or 2 presses, but deadlocks will deactive with second press and if you open the door from inside the alarm will go off. I tried it this morning if it doesnt get your settings checked using vag.com

On my last 2 leons
Pressing once does the alarm and deadlocks...
Pressing twice doesnt do ultrasonics (possibly the rest of the alarm too not sure) and disengages the deadlocks...

I use the latter quite a lot when leaving people in the car so that they can get out if need be

Will check this :thumbup:

Red leon thats about right if you press twice the sonics are off but opening the door from inside as deadlocks are off should kick the alarm in it does on mine.

One press. Two presses disengages the deadlocks.

monkeynuts · Oct 18, 2004

you know what i never knew any of that i used to press twice(wot a prat)

bigbadben · Oct 18, 2006

why would you ever want to deactivate the deadlocks?

Mitchy · Oct 18, 2006

Exactly 2 years ago to this day you have brought this thread back from lol.

Look at the date of the last post

I think its to do with if you were to lock someone in the car to allow them to get out, although i thought 2 attempts at the door handle would do that

OMG ive just had my leon for around 2 months now and have always been locking it with 2 pushes on the remote thinking it was deadlocking the car, i will do myself a test 2moz.

tris · Oct 19, 2006

-=Rob=- · Oct 20, 2006

You think thats bad, I'm on my second leon, had them for nearly 4 years now and I've always pressed it twice. Thought the second clunk was the deadlocks kicking in and not disarming!!!
