Stupid question #126 - what do these buttons do?

[Stupidlikeafox]

I've had my A3 for a couple of weeks now, but yesterday noticed these two buttons inside the door on the driver side.






It's probably something unexciting, but what do they do? I'm too scared to press them to find out!

[Zeemax_Mini]

Bottom one looks like tilt sensor for the alarm...top one probably something alarm sensor related too!

Top one deactivates cabin alarm sensors. Bottom one deactivates movement alarm for if you are being towed/on a flat bed.

I think.....

[thatsprettyshady]

Both buttons turn off various features of the alarm.
Top one is interior sensor for when you leave the kids/dog in the car, bottom one is indeed to disable tilt sensor.

ETA damn beaten haha

I'd go with ultrasonic and tilt alarm sensors.

[Shaw Tarse]

My guess is for top one switches off interior alarm (when leavibg dogs /kids in the car?
2nd disables tow away alarm?

Cheers chaps!

Very useful on long ferry journeys, you'd be amazed how many cars have their alarms going off on the car deck. Then there's the occasional one that's managed to flatten it's battery and is holding up a whole row You don't want to be that guy!

Ejector seat when level, and ejector seat when at an angle.

I just checked what it says in my own car's handbook. The lower one is as mentioned. The upper button switches on and off the Imagine - very useful on busier roads.

bottom one is the hover mode.

They set the cruise control when you have selected "scan for flying saucer" mode.

Cough - guilty as charged

Battery just dead enough after presumed 6h of continuous noise and flashing lights
