Hi everyone,

FL2 02/2012 - 6500 miles.

I've noticed that my volumetric alarm is not working. I've followed instructions to activate it means push lock door button twice. I cannot open the vehicle from the interior which is normal I think ... but also when I move in the interior nothing happens.

The dealer's diag computer says that the option is activated.

any ideas please ? maybe sensor issue ? where is/are it/they located ? are there many ?

Thank you in advance

Cheers

I am not sure it will work with you inside the car.
If you put down the window, press twice on the lock, and then put your hand inside (through the open window) and move about a bit, you should trigger the motion alarm. It's never too late to learn something new...

Thank you

Actually I already did the test you are suggesting. Nothing happens ...

Also, I think that it should work when someone is in the car as the sensors are able to detect movements.

just had mine fixed at the dealership yesterday too

mine was a loose connection at the sensor at the roof, or so they told me Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

thank you ... I don't have this piece on my roof ... HSE and the options list paper delivered with my car says that both of perimetric and volumetric alarms are installed



!!

So, should the alarm sound if double locked and you move in the car or not??

Yes, if fitted in ... means it you have this sensors on the roof as shown in the picture.

Just tried mine and nothing!!

if you have not got the sensor on the roof, i don't think you will have volumetric alarm, as these are the sensors for it on the ones with a sunroof, i don't know where the sensors are (if any) on ones without sunroofs or if they have volumetric alarms

the cars manual does cover a whole multitude of things including things that are not fitted on the cars, sort of one manual does it all, so you might have read about the alarm which you have not got been a Moroccan spec'd FL2 HSE Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Maybe I'm wrong ... i'm not sure.

You have the sunroof ? and this sensors box ?

yes, on both my FL2 i have owned ( a SE & HSE) both have had sunroofs and both had this sensor in between Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

And for the models that don't have sunroof, is the sensor located in the same place ?

If you take off the battery box lid, and look behind it below the black plastic windscreen surround, does your FL2 have a alarm sounder? Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Yes it's in there.

BTW when I'm inside the car (locked) and when I open the bonnet, the alarm sounds.

So it' clear now, I only have perimetric alarm and not the volumetric.
