182 alarm going off randomly...



  Clio 182
Hasnt happened since I had the car then it has gone off in the middle of the night the last two nights, probably waking up the whole block of flats... - jumped out of bed instantly and couldnt see anyone near the car (but they may have been hiding behind it I guess). But is anything else likely to cause this when it has been ok up to now?
 
The alarsm are sesnsite if your hasn't bene turned down then leaving air vents open or andlged towards the sensors can set them off. Alos the sesnors of rthe doors particualy the boot and the bonnet are supseptable to rush when wet over time so they might have been affected.

Check to see what has set them off using this thread

Thanks Edde.
It beeped 4 times when I unlocked it, does that mean anything in particular? - I didnt know about the flashing light by the gearstick though.

The beeping is to tell you you that it had gone off (say if you had parked it & the alarm had gone off etc)

I had that twice recently. Confused the hell outta me. I've heard it beep at me when I've set the alarm with the door not shut properly, but never after dis-arming it!

Edit: Ah, thanks Cat. That's quite a nice feature lol.

No probs - mine goes off a fair bit, loud exhausts set it off (Peperamis exhaust especially:rasp: )

I knew it did that to tell you it had gone off, but just wondered if the number of beeps meant anything in particular?

Just seems weird that both times it's happened it's been right in the middle of the night so I wondered if someone was prowling around... :S

Did you drive it not long before it went off. I remember the alarm on my old Clio would sometimes go off when the local cats jumped on the bonnet for a bit of warmth!

Erm, was driven around 8pm Sat and 10 pm Sun so quite a few hours before the alarm went off both nights - also checked for paw prints tonight and couldn't see any, no heavy rain or windows open either :S

Probably wouldn't be that anyway. The after-market alarm on it was pretty crap. Would go off if you left the hazards on!
