2021 T6.1 highline alarm question

[peterkelly786]

Hi, I'm a new t6.1 campervan owner and had 2 basic questions. Apologies if they have already been answered on the forum.

Does the t6.1 highline van have a factory fitted alarm and immobiliser?

If I want to leave our dog in the van or leave the pop top up, how do I lock the van but turn off the motion sensor?

Thanks for your help in advance.

The manual that came with your van should explain.

There’s a button in the drivers side b pillar. Press this with the drivers door open before you close the door and lock the van.

Two presses of the fob will lock without sensors or deadlocks.(3 clunks)

lock with the key, one turn will do the same but also with deadlock.(2 clunks)

Not on the 6.1. The button disappeared.

Don't you do it through the infotainment system?

you can on a 6.1 but unnecessary IMO

Thanks for the info. I'm thinking of the scenario if the pop top roof is up while camping and I want to lock the vehicle, but don't want the motion sensors to set off the alarm if the wind is flapping the pop top canvas.

Yes, thanks, it's leaving the van like heading out for a walk. I know there an internal door lock button when inside the van for sleeping.

I know what you mean, I’ve left mine when it’s been windy I just make sure nothing can fall down.
I don’t think the alarm will be tripped by anything as high as the pop top.
I’ve started lowering the roof when away as I’m pretty sure the insurance company will wriggle out of a claim if somebody goes in through the pop top canvas.

Thanks for the info and advice. Fair point about the insurance too.

Then lock with the key blade in the driver’s lock with one left turn.
