Blippy Blip thingy!

quick question.... I have always been puzzled by the key fob blip.

Seen as though I am working away from home and my manual is 200 miles away wonder if anyone can help?

How many presses should you do with the blip when leaving the car secure? 1 or 2?

If you press it once it locks and the car arms the alarm, but what about pressing twice?

Cheers me'deers!

Whats spec is your car?
The older models (non-multiplex) have different keys to the multiplex models.

My CC is non mulitplex and to lock it you press the big button and to set the alarm you press the little button.

Was that any help or a damn waste of time?

Hi!
On newer multiplex models, one press of the button locks + alarms the car.
Two presses will lock, alarm AND deadlock the car.
I usually always double press mine... dunno why, just the deadlocks make me feel my little pug is safer... lol

Craig,

On the newer multiplex models one press deadlocks your car - two undeadlocks it. I didn't believe this either until experimenting with the roof down. Sit in the car press once and you can't open the doors. Press twice and you can, therefore one press makes your car more secure.

Thanks for the help. That was what confused me too! I remember when I first read the manual that it didn't seem the right way round... but like I said the manual is back home and I can't check until I am back up north!

It is new multiplex model that I have though. Cheers!!

Waargh!!!
I never knew that!!
Now, why did I think that it was two presses to deadlock?? Did the manual say that?

Thanks Burge!

If I press the button once, or twice, it makes no difference at all!!!!!
I can always open the car, when the window is open or the roof is down. Off course the alarm sounds, but still....

Anyone?

deadlocks by pressing once yes
if you sit in the car and open from inside
the car does open
but
if you try and lift door pin and try and get out you cant?
safety feature aint it incase you crash

How would you crash with the alarm & deadlocks set?

You should not be able to open the doors at all if the deadlocks are set. That is the whole point of having deadlocks.

You can't open the door even with the handles with the deadlocks set. That is why you shouldn't set them with someone in the car. With the CC however you can test this by doing it with the roof down. This way there is always a means of escape!
