Can anyone tell me what these two buttons are for?
« on: July 05, 2011, 01:54:20 pm »
As title, they are located just behind the drivers seat on the pillar and light up red until you press them, then they light up yellow  :confused:

Are they something to do with the car getting towed or something and the alarm  :confused:

And sadly I don't have a manual to look at hence why I'm asking on here  :smiley:

Here are the pics






Cheers

I think one is to turn off and on the interior alarm sensor,  The other is to turn off the sensor so that you can have it towed without the alarm sounding,
I may be wrong.

Think one is to activate your alarm if on a slope.

I've always wondered the same. Thing is I only have the top button. When pressed it remains red and doesn't go yellow. Not quite sure how to tell if it's on/off!

When I had my car in the workshop yesterday I only noticed these because I was vacuuming the car out and they where illuminated red so I wondered what they where  :confused: so I pressed them as you do  :grin: and they turned yellow, but when I pressed them again they just stayed yellow  :scared:

So when I turned my ignition on and off again they went back to red, so I assume red is it all ok and yellow is the alarm turned off  :confused: :grin:
