Hi,
First I do hope you all had a Merry Christmas with the ones you love and wish you a Happy New Year!!
Secondly, I would kindly like to ask someone to explain me how the alarm works. My manual is in Portuguese, but it doesn't go into details...
So, if I use once the key lock button it locks the whole car activating the alarm... does it activate the motion (I guess it's called volumetric) detector?
If I press twice it locks the car with a double-lock security... what's that? I guess it activates the alarm and also the motion... but what's the diference from the 1 press lock?
If I want just to open the driver door, I should press once the key, right? If I want all doors to open I should press twice. I get that, but can you explain when does the car locks itself after a few seconds without using any door? My manual does not say much about this... and is confusing.
Say... if I drive and the car locks up and then I leave the car and do nothing does he locks himself again? I've found situations when he didn't... and others that he did.
Another issue... the other day I left the car with my kid inside (although he was always in sight). After 30 segs it locked up and fired the motion detector alarm. For what I read to turn it off I must take the key off the ignition, open the door and press the little button hidden next to the door and near my left foot, right? But must I always do that if I want to leave my kid inside... and have a talk to somenone near the car?
Hope I'm not too confusing... and if you have documents enlighting this feature in english I would appreciate. I understand terms in english better than in my own language... like computer terms... it's far better to understand native english than translated ones...
Cheers,
RuiD
