Thanks. But manual,says locking with the key will also set the alarm, unless that is wrong.

Why do you need to disable the alarm for the ferry ?

Assumed motion could set it off?

probably unlikely in a defender, which ferry route?
most routes from the uk are fairly short anyway, if your battery is in good health shouldn't be a issue even if it does go off... well if your going to Santander it's maybe not a good idea  |

I can stand on the roofrack on mine and rock it vigorously from side-to-side and up-and-down and it doesn't set the alarm off. I don't think a ferry will be a problem.

Thieves don't even seem to set the alarm off, why should a ship

I lock mine with the key everyday with my dog in the cab and the alarm never goes off, if I forget and use the remote the alarm will go off soon after.

FWIW, I'm regularly on Cal-Mac ferries to the Hebrides. Maybe the seas are rockier here.....?
There's usually a poster somewhere on the car deck advising that alarms should be disabled - but clearly many folk don't read them; don't know how to do that; or their cars don't have that facility. Our 'other car' a Yeti, has a button on the bottom of the B pillar which alters the alarm set function for ferry crossings. I know it's a pain when standing outside (on a good day!) and the car alarms are going off repeatedly. So, if I had a car which allowed this, and there was a way to keep it secure and avoid the alarm going off, I'd use it. Having said all that, with the LR I normally leave the keys in the ignition and the doors unlocked... I just don't perceive there to be any real risk on the ferries I use. I guess I might not do that on other sailings.

Good idea, as long as some scrote does not steal your key ! 1983 Series 3 Pick up in Marine Blue

Aye, like I say, I probably wouldn't do it anywhere else other than the w. or n. of Scotland.
We went across to the Netherlands last year, from Newcastle, and I'm pretty sure I locked it then. I think the main thing here though isn't about a car running its battery flat sounding an alarm, but probably for the benefit of the crew who won't want to be working alongside several car alarms sounding off all the time.

Lock it with the key only, not the fob which will disable the volumetric alarm. I wasn't aware that the Puma alarm had tilt or shock sensors, only doors, bonnet and volumetric. Defender 90XS SW
