mooseshaver Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 when I lock my C3 from the remote, sometimes when I press the lock button a second time, I can hear something locking, when it should all be locked. What is it? I've tried trying the locks before pressing a second time but usualy find it doesn't do it and just flashes the lights. Quote
pork_pie Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 Moose. When you press the button the second time, it disables the deadlocks. For maximum security press once otherwise the thieving ******* can open your car from inside. Quote
pork_pie Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 As for the second part of your posting Moose. You say that press the button twice it seems to relocks but on other occasions the second press does not relock the car but JUST flashes the lights. Easy. Press the knob twice in the space of one second and the deadlocks are disabled but car is still locked from outside. If you leave it for more than a second and re pres the knob the lights flash. This is a conveinience feture to locate your car in a busy parking area. The car is so clever yet it does not make any dinner. Quote
mooseshaver Posted February 27, 2003 Author Posted February 27, 2003 Thanks Porky, All this time I've been reducing my security. Suppose someone had stolen my C3? Actualy with the HDI-16s problems I could just walk and catch up with them :P I knew about the locating function. Even now I press it from as far away as possible to impress the ladies. Mr. Ben Quote
pork_pie Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 I owned a Pug 306 6 years ago and two presses activated the deadlocks so yes for a while I was reducing my security buy thinking the same applied for the C3. The ladies? I notice you come from Cumbria. Yer don't go to Barrow to hunt do you? Scary! Quote
mooseshaver Posted February 27, 2003 Author Posted February 27, 2003 ladies/ladys i can't spel Yes i is from cumbria, or i live here, but I dont go hunting. or know anyone who does. what are dealocks exaclty? Quote
pork_pie Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 Deadlocks prevent you from opening the car from inside when the owners locked it. Normally thieves smash a window and open the car from inside. With deadlocks they cannot open the door and can only enter through the window they just smashed and hopefully bleed to death. Quote
mooseshaver Posted February 27, 2003 Author Posted February 27, 2003 Ahh, but how do they work? Is it something sliding in to stop locks popping up or is it like an alan key the citroen turns somewhere else? Quote
