That disables the interior monitoring and tilt sensors for the alarm - in case you need to leave people or pets in the car, or have it towed etc.

Oh okay

So is it on when the light is RED or ORANGE?

Try both with the missus locked in the car and let us know

[Corey_R]

Or look at the owner manual
I've no idea what the answer is at this point because I'm not near my car, and I haven't gone pressing it when I haven't known what it's for

You must have a massive kitchen?

[Fab_R]

Seriously....you muppet! And you had the battery charger hooked up just the other week?

The car equiv of an intervention will be me coming around and confiscating the keys!

Yeah the charger/tender was hooked up all last week, but for some reason it still drained.
Its shyttting me to death how and why this R of mine is draining my battery!

Im not a muppet btw

Looking in the manual is a sign of weakness.

Thats the way! Respect....hope there is salami and garlic hanging from the roof as well, and a ton of fruit and veg trees in the back yard!

..... like asking for directions when your lost

Yep... it's also a weakness of mine when I crack out in laughter over some of the questions that people ask on these forums which are covered in the manual. I could give examples, but I don't want to embarrass or belittle anyone here. But lets just say that things range from hiliarious little quips to the owner needing to take their cars to the repair shop for replacement parts and paintwork, all because they were too "strong" to read the manual.

I guess that walking to work cause you didn't read the owners manual just helps to make you "stronger" too

You take your job very seriously, don't you?

[Corey_R]

Yes!.......

Hey i walk to work most days............but it's because im lucky enough to live within about 2km of my work - therefore its not worth taking the car.

And FYI - i read my owners manual the first night i got my car. Although i found the manual to be somewhat confusing and not clear in quite a few areas compared to manuals from previous Japanese cars i have owned.
