thanks Ken but this l am aware of this one.l have to switch this off when l leave the dogs in the car.l think the alarm that l am having trouble with is something to do with the back up battery for the alarm.i think it is a warning that the back up battery isnt holding its charge but dont know how to fix it.so any more help would be great.thanks again.

val there is an internal alarm in the fronteras,its located on the dash beside the heater,and shown by a man and lines beside him,its a safety feature if kids are in vehicle,do you have any problems with your key activating and deactivating the alarm,mine wont work ken
