Is that a new feature then with 182s?
Clio alarms have NEVER beeped have they? (as in alarms that come with the cars that are bought from Renault dealers).
The only time they beep is if you set them off or set them so that the volumetric stuff isnt activated (leaving car windows open, but car still alarmed up) or trying to arm the thing when there is a door still open.
If an alarm beeps on arming, its because its an alarm thats been fitted after the car left the dealer or a non-Renualt dealer has fitted it before you took delivery?
I dont know, Im just guessing here. Its just that my alarm on my Clio doesnt beep when arming/un-arming. All I get is the clunk as the locks go, and a flash/double-flash of the indicator lights. I bought my Clio from a Renault dealer.
