When the car is locked, the alarm will sound if anybody or something moves inside (like an animal) or if the car’s inclination changes (e.g. during transport). By turning off the interior monitor and/or tow-away protection, you can stop the alarm from being mistakenly triggered.

How monitoring the vehicle interior increases safety, comfort, and convenience
All car occupants benefit from increased interior monitoring in terms of convenience, comfort, and safety.
The technology alerts the driver to potentially dangerous scenarios and may identify driver distraction, indicators of intoxication, and even whether a child has been left behind in the car. Information gathered from the vehicle interior is used to improve safety systems like the seat belt alert feature. The solution offers a variety of safety-related applications in addition to a number of cutting-edge interface possibilities, such as gesture control for hands-free infotainment system use. Future automated vehicles will be completely dependent on interior monitoring systems to determine if the driver can take control of the vehicle in a certain circumstance.
How do I disable the Audi’s interior monitoring?
If the sensor notices any movement inside the cabin, the alarm will sound. Alternatively, if the car’s inclination shifts.
Turning off the inside monitor will stop the alert from sounding. Additionally, if you want a car that is entirely silent, you can disable the tow-away protection.
There is also a secret fact. The motion sensor will also turn off the safe lock system if you do so. Therefore, if your safe lock is deactivated, it can be the reason your motion sensor won’t work.
Step 1
Your remote control key’s button with the lock icon should be pressed. After two seconds have passed since the first click, press it once more.
Within two seconds, make a second touch to the door handles’ sensor. Owners who possess convenience keys must follow these instructions.
Within two seconds, turn the mechanical key in the door lock a second time to the closed position.
Tow away protection for Audi?
The next time the car is locked, the interior monitor and tow-away protection will turn on automatically. If the automobile is locked from the outside and the deadlock mechanism is engaged, never leave anyone inside (particularly youngsters), as the doors and windows cannot be opened from the inside.
Interior delay: What is it?
The directions are then unclear. They give the impression that you can delay the motion detectors’ reaction, and I’ve read on forums about people doing this in garages so it won’t go off right away when they get home and open the door.

What Are The Differences Between Alarm Arming Modes? Systemspatrick2014-01-20T20:56:17+00:00
The majority of contemporary alarm systems have three arming options: quick, remain (or home), and away. Every mode should be used when your system is in regular operation.
Let’s talk about the three most common ways that different zones can react to being opened while armed before we go into the arming modes. If an alarm system is activated and a door or window is set to perimeter mode, the alarm will sound as soon as the door or window is opened. When an alarm system is activated and a door is set to delay mode, you have a specific amount of time to type the code into the keypad before the alarm sounds. The typical duration of this period is between 30 and 60 seconds, however it may differ. Motion detectors are frequently protected inside. When the alarm system is armed and in remain (or home) mode, that zone is automatically bypassed by interior mode. Motion detectors are frequently configured for interior follower mode, which we will cover in a moment.
Stay mode simply indicates that you have the system armed and are staying in the house. Since you’ll be moving around, the motion detectors won’t go off. They are configured as interior protection because they don’t want to alarm you when you are at home. The doors that have been designated as entry/exit points or delay zones still have the delay time when in stay mode. As a result, someone can enter the property while it’s still armed and disarm the security system. If someone is at home and needs the security the alarm system provides but is waiting for someone else to get home, this is quite useful.
When no one is scheduled to arrive and everyone is at home for the evening, instant mode (no delay) is employed. The alarm will go off if any door, whether it is in a perimeter or delay zone, is opened. In this mode, the motion detector is still inactive. Use this setting at night while everyone is at home, especially when sleeping. In this situation, you don’t want to let a burglar 30 to 60 seconds to access the residence.
When the house is empty, away mode is employed. The motion detectors are turned on after the system is armed. The interior follower setting enters the picture at this point. If the system is already armed and the motion detector detects an intruder as the initial sensor, the alarm will sound instantly. The motion detector tracks an entrance or exit door when it is set to “interior follower.” The motion detector won’t go off if a door that has been set to delay is opened before the delay period is up. This enables the motion detector to see the door being opened while without raising an alarm.
Alarm systems today automatically switch to stay mode if the system is armed to away and no one leaves the property in order to avoid false alarms. Because the doors were not opened while leaving, the system is aware of this. Talk to your alarm installer about how you want the motion detector to be programmed if you want it to activate in stay mode.
Generally speaking, it is a good idea to minimize the wait between leaving and entering while still allowing enough time to reach the keypad. Reducing the amount of delay zones in a system is another smart move. The fewer entry points there are, the better.
While disarming an alarm system normally doesn’t require a code, arming one typically does. Systems audibly beep as they arm in away mode, but in stay or immediate mode, they only make a brief succession of beeps. The alarm system beeps when a delay zone is entered and continues to do so until the disarming code is entered. In the final ten seconds, the beeping becomes louder to warn you that time is running out and the alarm will go off. It’s crucial to understand that you can design the delay times for entry and exit, so choose a time that seems right to you.
How do I disable my car’s motion sensor?
Press the lock button once, then press it again within two seconds to switch off the inside motion sensor. Hope that was useful. I mistakenly believed that the motion sensor is turned off when the driver’s door is open by the button on the door jam side. Press the lock button once, then press it again within two seconds to switch off the inside motion sensor.
How can my Audi A1 be locked without an alarm?
The central locking system of the Audi A1 locks both the boot lid and doors. Depending on the option you have chosen on the sound system* or MMI*Link (applies to Audi A1s with driver information system*), the central locking system will either unlock the driver’s door solely or all the locks on the Audi A1.
When the Audi A1 speeds up to roughly 15 km/h, the Auto Lock feature locks the doors and the boot lid.
When the ignition key is taken out, the Audi A1 is once more unlocked. The Audi A1 can also be unlocked by pulling one of the inside door handles or by using the central locking switch. On the sound system* or MMI*Link (applicable to Audi A1s with driver information system*), the Auto Lock function can be turned on and off.
The doors will automatically unlock in the event of an accident when the airbags deploy to make accessing help easier.
The letter Take note of the door safelock. The warning that the deadlock mechanism is automatically engaged when you lock the Audi A1 from the outside can be seen on the instrument display. Then, it is impossible to open the doors from the inside. As a result, breaking into the Audi A1 is more challenging. WARNING!.
Any time you lock the Audi A1, you can manually remove the deadlock mechanism:
- Within two seconds, turn the door lock’s key a second time to the lock position. Or:
- Within two seconds, press the remote control key’s button a second time. Or:
- Within two seconds, make a second touch to the sensor* on the door handle (applies to Audi A1s with convenience key).
The driver’s door trim’s top light-emitting LED, which recognises this technique, initially flashes quickly for a brief period of time, then goes dark for around 30 seconds, and then slowly begins to flash once more.
The anti-theft alarm system activates an audible and visual alarm if it detects interference with the Audi A1.
When the Audi A1 is locked, the anti-theft alarm system is automatically activated. If you unlock the Audi A1 with the remote control or the door handle sensor, it turns off immediately (convenience key).
In order to stop the alarm from going off after you unlock the Audi A1 by placing the key in the driver’s door, you should turn on the ignition within 15 seconds. When you open a door, the alarm goes off instantly on some export versions.
Press the button on the remote control key/convenience key or turn the ignition key to turn off the alarm. After a predetermined amount of time, the alert also ends automatically.
If you want to stop the alarm from going off unintentionally Link, turn off the interior monitor and tow-away protection.
When the Audi A1 is unlocked, the turn signals will flash twice; when it is locked, they will only flash once. The boot lid, one of the doors, or the bonnet may still be open if the turn signals do not flash.
In the following circumstances, the central locking mechanism keeps you from being locked out of the Audi A1:
- If you depress the central locking switch and then close the door Link, the Audi A1 won’t lock when the driver’s door is open.
- When the boot lid is closed on an Audi A1 with a convenience key*, the boot lid will automatically open again if the key that was just used is still inside the boot.
Locking the Audi A1 using the remote control key/convenience key should wait until all of the doors and the boot lid have been closed in order to avoid getting locked out.
If the automobile is locked from the outside and the deadlock mechanism* is engaged, never leave anyone inside (particularly children), as the doors and windows cannot be unlocked from the inside. Locked doors could prevent help from arriving in an emergency, possibly endangering lives.
- Never leave any valuables in the Audi A1 while it is moving. A locked Audi A1 is still not safe.
- When the Audi A1 is locked, if the diode on the driver’s window sill illuminates for roughly 30 seconds, the central locking system or anti-theft alarm* is malfunctioning. Please have the fault fixed by an authorized workshop or an Audi dealer.
- Only with the windows and sun roof closed will the inside monitor of the anti-theft alarm* system operate as intended.
How can I silence my Audi A4’s alarm?
The interior monitor and tow-away protection will be inactive if you now lock the Audi A4 until you unlock it once more.
The ability to unlock the doors from the inside has been lost. As a result, breaking into the Audi A4 is more challenging. WARNING!. The letter Take note of the door safelock. When you turn off the ignition, a warning that the safelock mechanism* will be engaged appears on the instrument cluster display. One of the following methods can be used to disable the safelock mechanism:
Within two seconds, make a second touch to the door handle sensor (applies to Audi A4s with convenience key). Or:
