Standard Alarm

[trinilex]

My IS 200, 2000 model has sensors for the seatbelts on both passenger and driver seat. There is a light on the dash that flashes, for both passenger and driver if the seatbelts are not used when the car is running and someone is sitting in the seat...............

trinilex.............

only the passenger seat has a pressure sensor in it, the drivers seatbelt warning will blink whenever the ignition is on, doesnt matter if someone is in the seat or not

[ByggareBob]

This is how I do!

I turn off the engine, remove the ignition key.

Step out out the car.

ClosE all doors EXCEPT the drivers door.

Press the lock/unlock button, on the drivers door, "lock doors" and then "unlock doors". Do this three times! After doing this the "Security" lamp will flash very fast.

Now the "interior" sensor is switched off!

Close the door and lock the door with the button on the key as usuall!

This works great on my car, a IS200 SportCross -05.

Hope this works for you guys!

i'm kind of worried that nobody actually knows how the alarm system works :S

if the second press is meant for deadlocks, but deactivates interior sensor then what's the point? you gain one good thing, but lose the other?

i've noticed that there are passenger and driver seat belt warning lamps. Passenger is on the console, and driver is in the dash dials. (i do not know if the drivers side is pressure on seat related).

if the vehicle is auto-locking then this is quite possibly a dangerous thing if you were unaware of it, took the keys out the ignition but left them inside (say at a garage they put it behind the visor while they are moving cars around temporarily).

it would be cool if someone, or a collective of members could answer these things, it would put my mind at rest, for the future. :)

cheers all...

They do, the system changed a few years ago, there are different methods depending on car age

see above

The drives is not activated by pressure, but by the fact the engine is running, and there is no seatbelt clipped in the seatbelt catch

if the vehicle is auto-locking then this is quite possibly a dangerous thing if you were unaware of it, took the keys out the ignition but left them inside (say at a garage they put it behind the visor while they are moving cars around temporarily).

agreed....Lexus Officially say it cannot happen...... i say it does, its happened while my keys were on the seat

Lock with the remote locker, and then try to open the car with the key. That should trigger the alarm.

Mine is a 2000w and the dealer told me 1 press locks, 2 press deadlocks and it does sound as though it deadlocks on the 2nd press, but I get 5 flashes.

The dealer got it wrong. It will always deadlock on that age of vehicle and the second press is turning off the interior sensors.

Check the deadlocking - leave a window open, lock the door and then try and open it by reaching in and using the interior handle, it shouldn't open the door.
