Rich_Eason Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 As I approached my deadlocked VTS (e.g. press the button once to lock, twice to deadlock) the other day, I mistakenly pressed the key fob "lock" button as apposed to the "unlock"button. After which the indicator lights went mental continually fast flashing until I pressed the "unlock" button. What function is this?! I understand the C4 has global closing of windows, but does it have global opening? My old Focus had this and was a boon on boiling hot days allowing you to breathe inside the car after it had been in the sun for 9hours until aircon kicked in! Quote
bigrob Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 this is the 'I can't find my car in the car park' function. If you can't find it, do this, and it tries to tell you where it is! <_< Quote
Stuey Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 thats the lights on button... you can leave the windows down. I have done it by accident a couple of times... Quote
Rich_Eason Posted July 12, 2006 Author Posted July 12, 2006 Chances are that if I leave the windows down I certainly wont be finding the car in any car park and strongly suspect it will be out of range of the key fob <_< Besides which how many times have you walked into a car park and mistake your car for a similar one? We do have a thread about C4 exclusivity on going at the moment! For its looks alone, its always easy to spot a C4 from the other tin pots surrounding it. Having owned a Focus, shopping center car parks are littered with the things and always (unfortunatly) found it. Quote

Fizzo17 Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 I understand the C4 has global closing of windows, but does it have global opening? Hi Rich. what did you mean by this? I tried leaving a window open on mine and then locked the car with the remote, but the window remained open. Should the window have closed? Quote
Rich_Eason Posted July 13, 2006 Author Posted July 13, 2006 If you "long press" the lock button it should close the window. Quote
Mike5483 Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 Yes, to lock, press the lock button once for normal or twice for deadlocking. If windows are left open. Also, from the unlock state, press and hold the lock button to engage normal locking and close windows, then press again to deadlock. Middle button is Guide me Home lights. Final button is unlock. In the locked state, push the lock button again to start 'find me' mode, which flashes the indicators for 15 secs I think. Quote
bigrob Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 In the locked state, push the lock button again to start 'find me' mode, which flashes the indicators for 15 secs I think. Thats what I meant by 'I can't find my car in the car park' function! :blink: Quote
Fizzo17 Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 Just tried closing the windows using the remote. It worked a treat! I really didn't know you could do that. Thanks Rich Quote
barns Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 is the window shutting function only on the top of range models or do us poor sx owners get it as well......................... Quote
Welshguy Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 Evenbody gets it! lol I only found this out myself about 2/3 weeks ago! I do it everywhere I go now...makes it look as it I have a fancy auto closure alarm installed :blink: Quote
Rich_Eason Posted July 14, 2006 Author Posted July 14, 2006 In the locked state, push the lock button again to start 'find me' mode, which flashes the indicators for 15 secs I think. Thats what I meant by 'I can't find my car in the car park' function! B)I still think this is the most bizzare feature.... :blink: :blink: I mean how many times have you gone into a car park to find that there are more than two of the same car as yours, parked in close vacinity of each other and you cant tell them apart because they are all the same model, colour but have different number plates (clue there)! Besides which the range of the key fob kind of indicates that you can see the car anyway! :P I often find myself stood in Sainsburys pondering where my car is when stood next to it. :blink: :huh: Quote
Ciaran2903 Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 I love putting the window up with the remote! Hehe :blink: Everyone loves it!! Quote
Rich_Eason Posted July 14, 2006 Author Posted July 14, 2006 I'd love to put them down with the remote too :blink: Quote
Ciaran2903 Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 Me too, but you cant be too picky! :blink: Quote
Rich_Eason Posted July 14, 2006 Author Posted July 14, 2006 I know, but I think it would be more useful than "Find my car even though I'm stood right next to it" button. :blink: A windows down function will be good, as looking out the window right now, I know when I open the doors of my C4, it is going to be a billion degrees in there and enough oxygen to fill a matchbox, and not my lungs. At least I would have found my car though! :blink: Quote
Ciaran2903 Posted July 16, 2006 Posted July 16, 2006 I also have found it to be a billion degrees in the car, but after having a horific motorcycle crash yesterday it doesnt seem so bad! Quote
