Locking car and interior movement (dogs)

[Jean Mercier]

Someone just sent me a screenshot of an Ineos Automotive response to an alarm query. Screenshot from a face book post. Very interesting. I haven't got my vehicle to try it out at the moment. Maybe someone could test the method and report back. If it works maybe @Rok_Dr could add it to his unofficial manual. View attachment 7903907

I still have my car @Logsplitter , probably it are very boring days for you without your Grenadier ?

So, I did test it several times, and it works!

But why does Ineos, in the answer of the Helpdesk not explain everything? I don't understand this.

The procedure is:

1. Push the lock button of the key fob and keep it pushed
2. You will see the "orange" direction lights stay "on" (I guess in Australia, the side light is white), even the green ones on the dashboard.
3. After exactly 20 seconds the direction light goes off: tilting sensor is off, and car is locked.

Caution:
When doing it while sitting in the car, if you open the door after "disabling the tilting alarm", the alarm goes off!
To avoid this, push the "open door" button on the key fob! Then you can open the door without alarm.

So the alarm should go off if you rock the car, right?

The alarm is not that sensitive, as @Logsplitter explained. I was some months ago on the roof of my car (using it as a working platform at my son's house) and the alarm didn't go off! My grandson also likes to climb my car, and the alarm never went off.

Brilliant great investigative work @Jean Mercier Some more testing needed to totally prove the method. You need a big fat friend or huge bodybuilder type to rock the vehicle around vigorously whilst locked with that method to totally prove.
One more thing Jean. What make are those rock sliders with the integrated hilift jack mounts. That’s what I want next.

The strange thing is. Why isn’t that in the owners manual. It’s almost as if it’s a game with Ineos as a company sat back and watching as owners try to work things out for themselves. That should be common knowledge.

Oh yes and it is boring Jean without my Grenadier. Most weekends I would be out there fettling with my Grenadier. I love that word “fettling”

Never had an alarm go off with a (properly fed / watered / ventilated / supervised / happy) dog in the trunk. Also not with a person on the passenger seat, until they opened the door that is. Then the alarm went off.

Both cases with the normal key fob button lock.

That’s a dog. You can train them. Other have more pressing issues.

Me for instance. I have always found when I stuff my tinder dates in the trunk, no matter how many refreshments I leave, they still complain and never call me back. The Alarms go off, then the police are called, misunderstandings arise, lawyers get involved.

Cheating on your wife anymore, is all just a big pain in the ass.

Rant off.
