Probably not much help, but have a look in the setup menu…

Ah, missed that when I was perusing the manual.

Well that didn't work. Will try the fuse next.

Thanks. I hadn't realised the facelifts had different fuse boxes but then it's LR. Why make it easy?

On my 2003, a second press of the lock button turns off volumetric sensing. I need this when camping as when my fridge turns on, its fans disturb the air and set off the alarm. Ron B. VK2OTC

On the later ones, it's the other way aroubd (ie 2nd press enables the sensors), but even with the sensors not active the alarm is still going off every few minutes. At least, it was until I pulled the fuse.

I had the issue of a random alarm sounding with my 2012 last year. I even once had it wailing when the car was actually being driven! Like you, I eventually resorted to pulling the fuse (36) and the problem was solved. However, I later discovered that: 1. Locking the car with a door ajar didn't give any warning. Unless you watched the car when you pressed the fob to lock it, you could easily walk away with the car left open. The 'chirp' which would normally signal a non-locking event (door ajar) works off the alarm sounder. 2. I could no longer trickle charge the battery from the (white) towbar electrics plug. It appears that as well as the alarm sounder, this fuse also interrupts the main 12v line to the white towplug. Recently, I've reinserted the fuse (36) and the alarm hasn't gone off....... yet. I do wonder if a failing back-up battery was the cause of all the issues. Hopefully, it's totally dead now! I bet I get woken in the middle of the night now after writing this...... The older I get, the more I realise that people confuse wrinkles for wisdom |

My internal sensor was repeatedly causing the alarm to go off. Eventually removed the roof housing that contains the sensor and found a very large spider wandering around in it. Put the spider out to play elsewhere, reassembled the housing and never had a problem since. Might have been coincidence but…. |

I did think of that but it still goes off every few minutes with the sensors disabled.
