Hello,

I’m aware that the alarm was an optional extra on these cars. I have keyless entry and go. Just wondering how I can check if mine has an alarm?

I have a red light on the dash flashing away once locked which makes me think it might. I did try locking it and coming back some time later and trying the key in the drivers door but it just opened no alarm.

I know no one takes any notice of alarms, so I’m not over bothered but just wanted to know.

Also, it got me thinking, if the fob fails I can manually open the door. How do you start the car in this situation - I.e when you only have the physical key out the fob for the car?

Thanks

Sit in the car then get sometime walk away and lock it see if an alarm goes off would be easiest way I'd think

I have exactly the same, keyless entry and a red light flashing on the dashboard that the manual *says* is an alarm indicator. I don't know the answer either

I have a 500X Cross Plus. It has the dashboard flashing Alarm light but there is no actual alarm. No ultrasonic sensors and no voltage change detection. To test your open the drivers wind. Lock car from outside and wait a few minutes. No put you hand in through the window and use to door lever to open the door. If she "sings" then you have the audible alarm option.

Alternatively get the dealer to list and print off the Configuration & MVS data for you chassis number as this will list what your vehicle's actual configuration.

Yep, data is for my 500X. Everyone else's will/may be different hence the e.g.

Found out today that my car has an alarm which my wife accidentally set off.
Looking at the eper data, I've got this line:

SECURITY ALARM Yes (LSB)
