why are you pressing the lock button twice/three times ?

My understanding is that pressing the lock button twice in quick succession deadlocks the car?

As said, you press the button once to lock the doors and not set the alarm. Twice to deadlock and set the alarm.

Pressing once will set the 'perimetric' alarm, only the movement sensor is inactive and doors can be opened from the inside.

That can't be right, can it? If I press the LOCK button a third time it UNLOCKS the drivers door whilst leaving the alarm set? I would have thought that once I have pressed the LOCK button twice (i.e. deadlocking the car), it wouldn't then matter how many times I continued to press the LOCK button - the car would remain deadlocked. When I then come to UNLOCK the car, a single press of the UNLOCK button would deactivate the alarm and unlock the drivers door, and a second press unlocks the remaining doors. I still don't see how I could arrive at a situation with the drivers door UNLOCKED but with the alarm SET, other than a fault? |

Yes, it was either a 'glitch' or a forewarning of a door mechanism problem.

I've got the same problem with my N/S/R door. Sometimes it's unlocked when the doors are locked and the alarm is on, other times it's locked when all others are open. It's a sticky door lock mechanism but I haven't got my fat lazy arse round to fixing it yet. I just check and make sure that the door is locked manually before arming and locking the others.

I'm so embarrassed! Talk about only opening your mouth to change feet. Sorry! |

I don't see how pressing the LOCK button 3 times unlocks the drivers door
