How many times do I press the fob?

Hi chaps, do I have to press the lock button on the fob twice to arm the immobiliser or just once?

Keep pressing it,,,, it might expload,,,

Just once on mine. What year is yours? Should be the same i presume.

2000 l series diesel

the immobiliser comes on as soon as you remove the keys,, when you press the fob once you lock doors as long as they havent fallen orf already, the second time you press fob it sets the alarm,,, well thats what's supposed to happen an if you press and hold fob button the rear door window should go down,,, (can do this any time)

Isnt the alarm set when you press it once? To lock the car without arming the system you use key in the lock.

From memory
remove key and immobiliser operates.
Press lock once and doors lock and alarm is set.
Press lock a second time and internal monitoring is set - do not do this if dog is left in car and/or sun roof is left open.
Press and hold - drops the rear window.

reet once and for all for all youse peeps which don't have a manual, or can't read, or just can't be arsed:

later version vehicles (not sure of break point)

immobiliser uses transponder in ignition key, so immobiliser cuts in when key removed from vicinity of ignition barrel

push left fob button once, drivers door only unlocks
push left fob button a second time, all doors unlock

push right fob button once, all doors "superlock" and alarm set

push and hold left fob button, rear tailgate glass opens fully

to lock vehicle without setting alarm:

put key in drivers door lock, turn anti clockwise once, vehicle will normal lock, but no alarm set
put key in drivers door lock, turn anti clockwise a second time, all doors will "superlock" and alarm will set.

put key in drivers door lock, turn clockwise once, drivers door will unlock only
put key in drivers door lock, turn clockwise a second time, all vehicle doors will unlock

:doh:
