XF Alarm - windows down

[JimM]

Hi All,

On holiday last week - left windows down a little due to hot weather (air con still not fixed).

Got a call from hotel owner that my alarm was ringing - would stop then start again after approx. 20 mins.

Question for you all ... is this normal.

if it is, can the alarm system be switched off if you wish to leave windows down a little.

ie when we have the dog out with us ... and is left in the car for a short period of time.

Windows well down to ensure sufficient air flow .....

But is this causing the alarm to go off with us not knowing about it?

Managed to get an answer to my problem at the weekend Crieff run that was organised by Jim Campbell.

Speaking to fellow XF owners, one of them commented that the Alarm is a two stage system and that the interior system protection is only set when the keyfob is pressed twice.

A single press on the keyfob will lock all doors but leave the internal system disabled.

ie   Dog can move about inside protected car without setting off the alarm.

cheers

Jim 

ps Big thanks to Jim Campbell for all the effort in organising the Scottish run.
