Alarm chirp on looking and unlocking

[kimbelsey]

Hi everyone I've looked this up on Google and tried everything they suggested and still nothing anybody know a way to turn back on the indicators flash and a beep or anything to show the alarms on and then off thank you in advance

The default setting on these cars is that the indicators flash when locking and unlocking, and there is no beep or any other noise apart from the mechanical clunk of the locks operating (which is usually enough to confirm the locks have functioned). There is also a red light on the dash to tell you the alarm is armed. If some previous owner has found some way to turn off the indicator flash on your car, that doesn't seem to be a standard feature because there's no info in the handbook about it.

I'd say that red light indicates that the immobolizer is active. At least in continental European models alarm is not standard, but red led is.

P.157 of the online handbook (at least for UK spec cars):
"■ When the security system alarm sets:
The security system alarm indicator in the instrument panel blinks. When the
blinking interval changes after about 15 seconds, the security system alarm is set."

There's no similar comment for the immobiliser, although I guess the light could apply to both. Anyway, the OP specifically asked about visual indication for the alarm.

You are right, it is not mentioned in the manual that red led blinks when immobilizer is active. I don't have alarm system, but there is that blinking led, when the key is removed from ignition lock.

I'd like to ask if OP is sure there is an alarm system in the car.

… I don't have alarm system, …

I'd like to ask if OP is sure there is an alarm system in the car.

What a law-abiding lot you Finns are! I recall a previous post some time ago wherein a continental contributor expressed surprise that UK-spec cars with alloy wheels are supplied with locking wheel nuts.

Easy way for the OP to check for an alarm is to unlock with the physical key.

False alarms of the car alarm systems have made people very annoyed here in Finland. You pretty quicly become the most unpopular guy in neighbourghood if you have couple of false alarms in nighttime.

It doesn't have any affect, but I bought my Jazz Dynamic from Luxemburg, so it's Central European spec car.
