I like the fact that the horn beeps whenever I lock the car, however a strange thing happens. Whenever I store the car for a period of five or six days with the alarm on, I can not unlock it with the key fob. I have to use the key to open the door and start the car. I do not believe that the alarm drains the battery because it seems to have plenty of power to start the car. If I take the car to a public parking lot, I always set the alarm and come back an hour or so later, and disarm the alarm with the key fob. Tell me what you think, if this is a drain on the battery.
from the manual:
The remote-control standby function switches off after 5 days
If the vehicle is not started or unlocked with the remote control within five days, the remote control
standby function is switched off (to prevent discharging of the vehicle battery).
1. In this case, unlock the driver's door with the key at the door lock.
Leave the door closed in order to prevent the alarm system from being triggered.
2. Press button 1 on the remote control.
The remote control is now activated again.
