Dogs in car...

[gingerwinger]

Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to remotely lock the car but disable the sensors that set off when I have the dogs inside?

It's becoming annoying having to leave the car unlocked.

I have a 56 plate Leon FR TDI...

Thanks in advance!

Press the lock button twice and it disables the interior sensors

 

[gingerwinger]

Great, many thanks!

I'll try it while I am out tomorrow!

OMG you legend! Been trying to figure this out! Was having to leave the car unlocked!

Really?? I thought doing it twice deadlocked it. So all this time I thought that second click was doing something good!

Same... i was under the impressions it needed 2 presses :/

One press of the button activates the deadlocks I believe.

IIRC double pressing disables the sensors so that you can leave someone/your dog locked in the car, double pressing also disables the deadlocks so that the person/dog left inside can actually get out if they need to. If you dead lock them in they could get trapped in a fire etc.

I used to leave my dog patch in the car and double press so the sensors didn't trigger the alarm....(also so that he could press the unlock button and escape if the car cought fire)

A double press disables the interior sensors and disables the deadlocks, when securing car only lock it once

not this again...

why would 1 press of the button not be the most secure setting for the car?

One click is the most secure set up. That is: as standard the deadlocks are on.
2 presses of the button DEACTIVATES deadlocks.

On the MK1 there was a button for deactivating the interior sensors, but as above with the MK2 it may be that deactivating deadlocks and sensors are both dont with a second click.


You could experiment by locking yourself in the car, (with the keys) and see what it does / doesnt do and let us know for sure

Ugh.. I was so annoyed by the fact that it kept beeping when I left my little sisters in the car, thank you!

it's the manufacturers fault this confusion. Citroen C5's (and previous Xantia's) needed a double press to deadlock them, as does the current Mazda 6!

 

[LeonCR]

And all Vauxhall's

 

[Nath.]

And SAABs too.

 

[Adman77]

Yeah last two cars were vauxhalls. Because the Leon clicks again like they did I thought it was the same

 

[Jarre]

mums very old honda CRV had to be pressed twice too

 

[ddc]

My old Mk2 Mondeo was the same two presses for the deadloclk option...

Mk1 LCR needs double press to activate deadlocks

You sure?

 

[BMH 25]

You sure?

Eye on mine if you lock it, then as soon as you hear the locks go push the button again and you hear a clunk sound, same as if you lock it with key then turn to lock position again deadlocks on
