What is that little switch (Answered: Internal Alarm Sensor Switch)

[ozr]

I know I will get flamed asking this question as it is in the manual but i am too lazy to look.
So here goes

What is that little switch on the inside pillar, on the drivers side.

I noticed it while detailing the R' couple of weeks ago and meant to post but didnt get around to it.

Anyone...??

Child lock?
Can you get a photo of it?

That's the switch for deactivating the interior motion sensor for the alarm system. If you leave pets in the car, it is recommended that you hit that switch before locking the doors to avoid setting off the alarm.

Forgot about the inside of the front door sill.
Isn't it a button?

This ^^ i found out the hard way the first time i left my dog in the car while i ran into the corner shop to get some milk. Alarm was going off within 10 seconds because my dog decided to move.

I can assure you if you laeve your pet in th car the alarm I'll go off. After about 4 oops I've got into the habit of hitting the buttons as I leave. Otherwise you return to a rather embarassed looking dog

When you press the button, the color of the light in the button changes from red to amber to confirm that the movement sensor alarm is off.

You can achieve the same by pressing the lock button on your remote twice. That also deactivates the deadlock.
