Alarm has mind of it's own!

Well sorta. What I mean is sometimes when I press the button on the key sometimes you just hear the click and the doors are locked, but probably about 30% of the time it will give three high pitch beeps as it locks, any reason why?

I told a mate that used to own a 182 Cup and he said he had the same thing, and never found out why?

Another common problem is when you lock the car the alarm beeps 2 or 3 times.
Reason: The alarm system has received a signal from the vehicle ECU that the ignition is 'on' causing the alarm to beep. This signal is only received by the alarm for 3 to 4 seconds, after this time has elapsed the alarm stops beeping.

Solution: It can only be resolved at a Renault dealer. Ask the dealer to contact the 'Renault alarm help line' and quote reference
'RS+15'.

Okay, sorry for not searching

Is this actually a problem for the car though? As long as it's not harming the car I don't really see it as something that needs to get fixed... unless it's done for free?
