Turns off interior alarm monitoring and on some is to stop the car being towed away.

It also states the same in the manual!  :wink:

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

You have to press it before you lock the car. It will illuminate when pressed :happy2:

Oh I understand  :happy2: so if you want to switch the interior sensors off you have to press the button. otherwise when you lock the car normally the sensors will automatically be activated.
