As the title says really, does anyone know how to do this? I've looked in the user manual and it claims it's possible but as far as I can see, doesn't tell you how to do it. There's also nothing helpful in the various menus and there's no obvious button anywhere, so I'm a bit stuck.

It's a late 2014 Titanium X spec, I have to take a ferry soon and would like to be able to do it just because I don't want to be that knob who's car alarm is constantly going off if it's rough!

Thanks all.

Does your fiesta have a cat 1 alarm or a perimeter alarm only? If it's the former, there should be a setting in the vehicle menu for Reduced Guard. If you tick that, the interior ultrasonic sensors are disabled.
I'm pretty sure it's cat 1 boss but I checked the onboard computer and no option for that. It's possible it's a perimeter alarm but surely with the all-toys Ti X it wouldn't be an option?

I've set the alarm off before, so I'd well believe a rough ferry crossing is enough to set it off and I'd rather be safe than sorry.
