Each time I lock my car I have to press twice for double locking to arm all the alarms. This is according to the manual and works ok. But sometimes I forget to double press the fob (double lock) and then only part of the alarms are armed. Someone can smash in a window or tow away the car without anybody noticing....

Is there a way to directly do a 'superlock' with only one press on the fob (single lock)?

Single press locks, ideal for ferries etc, double press sets volumetric, tilt, deadlock, fuel cap locks and alarms.
No shortcut I'm afraid.

I always double lock mine - I guess it must sense when the roof is down and not set the volumetric - or maybe mine's broken :lol:

...only ever leave it roof down on the drive at home.

I'm assuming that double locking is not really neeeded for the COupe - ie it's all closed anyway

When there's an option to increase security by a double press of a button I'd always take it.

In a coupe (and convertible), when you double lock it, the doors cannot be opened through a smashed window using the inside door handle.
