Locking the van with dog/campers inside - motion sensor switch
AFAIK....
The second key button press ONLY disables the SAFE/DEADLOCKS.
Its shouldn't disable the ultrasonics.
Maybe you just been lucky before?

Lee I've left Ed and slept in the van many time using the double key press. So it did work.
On my way down to Spain I got up for a jimmy and it set off. It has gone off a couple of times since. Never did before.
The pillar button also turns off the deadlock, so not quite as secure.
i wonder why that is then . . . ?
@Mick - do you have the alarm system and SAFELOCKs installed? (im assuming you do?)
likes like there is various behaviour depending on whether you have the alarm/locks combo fitted from factory.

FFS now I have to RTFM! I'll have a look at page 39. I do have factory fitted Safelocks and alarm.
RTFM?!! Hand back your man membership card! No bloke should admit to RTFM!!!
So RTFM. I was right. 2 keys presses disables safelock. Disabling safe lock deactivates the interior monitoring system.
Locking a vehicle without SAFELOCK
- Press the
button in the vehicle key twice in quick succession.
The following applies when SAFELOCK is deactivated:
- The vehicle can be unlocked and opened from the inside using the door release lever.
- The vehicle can be unlocked from the inside using the central locking button.
- If SAFELOCK has been activated with the vehicle key: the anti-theft alarm is active.
- If the SAFELOCK mechanism has been activated using the vehicle key in the driver door lock cylinder: the anti-theft alarm is not active.
- The interior monitoring system and anti-tow alarm are deactivated.
Thanks to @Loz and his online manual.
I used to use the double press, but found it very timing dependent. Sometimes it would, but many times it was just out and didn't work.
I thought my pillar button was not working, but I figured out it only works with the driver door open, it won't light up from inside.

Hi
I know this has been extensively discussed but still can't work it out any help appreciated - we have a 2019 Kombi behind the driver the pillar has a switch on it - I think this is meant to disable the motion sensors when camping in the van or leaving pets inside but wanting to secure the van overnight.
I cannot for the life of me work out how to make it work anyone able to help ?
We are about to go to France and we will be sleeping on our bed platform overnight and would very much like to be locked in !
Thanks

I believe that if you lock the van using the button on the inside of the drivers door (where the window switches are ) it locks the van without the deadlocks and without setting the motion sensors.
What he said.
If you push that one, with the drivers door open, then lock the van with the fob it will disable the motion sensors. However the deadlocks are activated.its that easy - thanks so much - so what does the button on the pillar do anyone ??
