T5 2007 - Door Pillar Buttons - disengage alarm - am I doing it right ?

[BigPritch]

Hi All,
have read many of the threads on this, and I 'think' I've got it right (be on a ferry for 2 days, so don't want alarm going off).

With the ignition on, I have pushed the bottom button on the door pillar (no lights show at all).
(Top button indicates internal alarm, bottom indicates external)
Locked rest of van doors with the fob, leaving the drivers door open.
Locked drivers door with the key, which stops the little red light flashing.
Given the van a good few 'shoves' to rock it, and no alarm activated.

I know that sounds like a 'alarm not on it works, whats your problem', but having never done this before any advice from you guys.

Thanks all

Just press the key fob lock button twice.

Turn everything off get out the van make sure other doors are closed press the rocker button both ways so the lights go orange then lock van with fob, if you open drivers door the alarm will reset. Hope this helps.

Jeff - done that Sr.
Pillar buttons did in fact go orange, with both lit.
Locked the drivers door with the fob (red light by the button still flashing).
Gave the van a GOOD 'rock', and nothing happened, as in no alarm.

THANK YOU
