What's this button do

[whichway]

Ok

White MY09 GTI.

There is a little button just behind the front door on the B pillar (I think) but low down near the back of the drivers seat. I don't know what it does.

Anybody got one of these and can help out?

It temporarily disables the ultrasonic alarm for the car interior when you close the car say to duck out to the milk bar with someone still in the car.

I haven't used it but remember "that's interesting" when the dealer showed me during delivery.

Motion sensors with the alarm/deadbolt/immobiliser security system.
Turns them on and off.

Last time we went to the DOVW we had 2 GTIs on the boat from Tassie and that is definately when you need to use the motion sensor button as they were raising the platform with the Golfs on it while we were still in the vehicle area and both cars alarms went off!!!
They get set by pressing the buttons on the pillar and only cancel when the car is unlocked again.

Also useful if you leave your dog in the car.

Thank you

So I push the button, then lock the car and the motion sensor is disabled.

Unlock the car go for a drive

Lock the car without pushing the button, and the motion sensor is enabled that time

Is that right

Thats it mate, you got it!!

This is a timely and very useful post - I'm going over on the boat tomorrow night with the GTI.

I'll make sure to press the button before I lock it

Hopefully the crossing won't be too rough, I've done more than my fair share of those.

WHOA! Dog in new car? You're brave! lol

might even be useful if you lock the car but leave windows/sunroof slightly open - not sure if wind can trigger the motion sensors?

You need movement to trigger them, wind won't do it and if you're leaving the windows and sunroof open even a little bit you would want to leave the interior monitoring/tow protection turned on as someone could force a window and climb in or even tow the car without it triggering.

Well, 3 dogs to be exact - Doberman, English Pointer and Koolie X. But all 3 are mature, well behaved pooches, and I have covers on the seats.

BTW, wind can set off the motion detector (by blowing a seat belt around a bit).

I often have wind, but I've never set off a car alarm. Only the missus

Its also handy when you park your car at the casino and want to leave the kids in the car for a few hours..
