This morning i was putting my rear load cover back in my car.

I opened the boot with the boot button on the key fob, put cover in, closed boot.

Put my neighbours bins down their drive, and then put my bins down my drive, BUT

When i walked past my car the alarm went off

I was raining so the windows were covered in beads of water, so i am wondering if it was just a one off or whether the sensors picked me up outside the car (maybe due to the beads of water)

Surely the boot buttons must turn the alarm off, as when i closed the boot the indicators flashed  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

If it's raining very heavily the alarm can, on occasion, be triggered but it's rare. Ours has gone off on the D3 a couple of times under severe rain, I think it was a combination of wind shaking, rain hammering and movement all round.

Otherwise, not sure, maybe just a one off?  "CY from DISCO3"

It was only drizzling, and no wind

I've just put it down to the rain and my shadow or something, and see what happens next bin day  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

For once I agree with CG and think that the alarm system simply goes with its feelings about people close to it  Once you've tasted GREY you'll never go back!

It's tip-toe past your LR's then I wonder if the alarm sensor would react to a quiet f@rt when tip-toeing past  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

At least NP wasn't wearing a hoodie, he wouldn't have ever been able to stop the alarm . How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?

Maybe it just didnt like the smell of the bin ?  

Don't think it was the bin that was the problem  ______________________

I had to rince my bin out and put in some Jeyes Bin Fresh as there was some unidentifiable gloop at the bottom of the bin  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
