When you press the lock door button twice...

[dangel]

LOL yours is just CAT 2, the LCR's are CAT 1 (see ther eare some more differences between LCR's and LC's)

I'll get mee coat

Heheh well according to Scott we've BOTH got TC2

It's irrelevant anyway - the car's rated as TC1 by my insurers (which is all that matters).......

There seems to be a lot of confusion on this thread! I'm a tad confused myself actually. You are right about deadlocks, basically it means that you can't open the door from inside, like if you break the window and try to open it by putting your arm through it. According to the manual:

"If you press the "close" button twice, the dead-lock mechanism and anti-theft alarm are deactivated and the indicators do not work" - Section 2.36

However, according to Mr Dealer, pressing the close button twice activates the deadlocks. You can actually hear them activate if you press the button twice, the LED flashes and the indicators still flash on my car. So it's a bit bizarre.

HAVING THOUGHT ABOUT IT: the sound you hear when you press the button twice may actually be the deadlocks UNLOCKING. I knew more about the car than the dealer when I bought mine from SEAT just by reading the brochure so I'm not sure about this one, the dealer may be wrong.

Is the dealer wrong or is the manual mis-printed? Without X-raying the door when you unlock/lock it there isn't much way to tell and I'm not pulling mine apart just yet.

I think one thing is certain - Pressing it once activates everything. It would be a foolish design if this were not the case.

As to what it does on the second press - I'm as confused as you. My dealer said it deactivates the alarm (but I don't place too much weight on their view). My manual doesn't mention pressing the remote twice (only turning the key twice in sucession - as per 225's post)/

Right, read the first part of the thread, but can't be arsed to read the rest, because I know the answer for sure (So apologies if it's been posted).

The little button on the B Pillar disables the interior volumetric alarm, but that's all. The bonnet, boot etc stays armed.

If you press the button on the key fob to lock the car, and then press it a second time within one second of the first press that completely DISABLES all the alarms - you can tell when this has happened by the little red LED not flashing on the driver's door.

A while back there was a loose connection on the boot, that made the "Boot open" light come on, on the dash and it kept setting the alarm off. Using the button on the B pillar still had the alarm going off, but pressing the lock button on the key fob twice to disable the alarm, stopped it from going off.

I have a MY02 Leon Cupra, and I'm sure that it is described in the manual (My version anyway!). That's where I read about the two presses of the key fob having to be within 1 second of each other.

Hope that clears things up a bit,

Stevo

Well I just got something out of the car and locked it by pressing the button in quick succession and the red led did not switch off. I tried it a few times and the led always stayed on

thats cause your car has a cat one,which should not be able to be turned off thatham criteria

For an LCR...

Press lock button once:
Alarm ARMED, all doors LOCKED, deadlocks ACTIVE

Press lock button twice:
Alarm NOT ARMED, All doors LOCKED, deadlocks NOT ACTIVE

Anyone here running selective unlocking (like I am?) If so, lock your car by pressing once. When you next unlock the car, how many lock firings do you hear?? You should hear 2 - All deadlocks unlocking, and then the driver's door unlocking.

Try it next by locking the car with a double press. When you unlock the car next time, you'll notice it's a lot quieter...

Exactly like this... It is written in the manual, at least in the european versions. I think some of you missed important lecture of the manual
Actually you can hear the deadlocks while pressing the key once. The 2-stage locking mechanism can be easily heard. You can also hear the deadlocks unarming after pressing the lock button twice.

Those who doesn't believe can sit in the car and press the lock button once and then try to get out of the car... if you get bored press the button again to hear deadlocks open...

I posted some questions regarding this problem some time ago, left without replies but finally found out the same... I hear 2 lock firings.
I was wondering how to prevent the deadlocks from opening (on remaining door) while using selective unlocking (unlocking only the drivers door) but I am afraid it is impossible.

Manuals differ - mine doesn't mention anything about pressing the button twice

But I'm convinced that Rog's explanation is appropriate to my motor

If you are talking about pressing the Door Locking button on the Remote twice, then it locks the car, but does not enable the interior volumetric alarms. On the second press, when the doors lock again, you should notice that the indicators don't flash, again showing that that alarm has not armed fully.

...I think...

thats pretty much exactly wat my manual says press once for fully alarm and deadlock press twice for no volumetric sensors.

 

[Stoner]

The only sure-fire solution to this is to test your own car. Seems like there are diffences not only in manuals, but also in what pressing it twice actually does.

i.e. there isn't a common solution

I'm going to test mine tonight

 

[Dave W]

Looked in the manual and it say's 1 press activates the alarm and the deadlocks, pressing twice deactivates the deadlocks and the alarm.
That's what the manual say's

 

[Buzz L]

Just been out and tested with next doors cat as witness, 1 press = deadlock & alarm with volumetric sensors 2 very quick presses = no deadlock or volumetric sensors but alarm still activates if doors are opened.

 

[Turbowayne]

Just tried it from my desk

Lights flash on button press 1 and 2 - no visible difference..

I am a bit worried now !!!

My lights, well side indicators do not flash at all and as for the volumetric switch i cannot seem to get it to work at all???

Just to add more confusion, my 04 cupra tdi is T1 and the red led goes off after 2nd press


EDIT:: Just went out for the Asda shop, (they need more mags for the blokes to read!) and you are right the led did stay on after 2 clicks. I could've sworn blind it used to go off. Think I need new eyes.

This is exactly how my '53 Leon TDI 130 SE works. It does actually state this in the manual iirc. It also says it is T1 and has selective drivers door unlocking.

 

[Ruddmeister]

That's how mine works, pretty sure Cupra-Rog's description is right for the 210LCR anyway

Well an update.
My alarm problem was sorted in 10 mins !!!

A multiplug was not correctly pushed together "GOODIE"
I still believe the dealership had disturbed the connection during Tracker fitment etc.

All ok now & thanx for everyones help.

 

[kolesar007]

Does anybody know if it is possible to disable simple locking with (press lock buton twice) with VagCom?...so that only Daed lock could be possible.

Regards.

 

[Fast_Eddie]

god what a mahooosive thread!!
My 210 LCR--1 press indicators flash once after 1 second-every thing locked and volumetric sensors on--red lights flashing
2 presses---indicators flash once again-alarm on -doors locked red light flashing- but volumetric sensors OFF.---just the same as pressing the volumetric button on the B pillar?
