How to deactivate the alarm when it goes off on the Volkswagen Golf

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf III, MK 3, Golf 3 - Years 1991-1997
Part: Checks and maintenance

If the alarm on the Volkswagen Golf keeps sounding and you need to temporarily disable it, locate the deactivation switch marked with the position "DEACTIVATE". Work with the vehicle stationary and safely to prevent the alarm from restarting while you are intervening. On the shown Volkswagen Golf, the switch is accessible from the driver's door area: once the area around the handle/lock is exposed, use a small tool (like a flathead screwdriver) to operate the selector and move it to the deactivation position. After the operation, check that the Volkswagen Golf no longer triggers the siren during normal opening/closing maneuvers, and when needed, return the selector to the opposite position to reactivate the alarm.

How to Reset the Tyre Pressure Light on the Opel Grandland X

While driving, if you notice the tyre pressure warning light coming on, first check the actual inflation pressure of the tyres and, if necessary, restore the pressures recommended by the manufacturer. After restoring the correct pressures, you need to reset the warning light that has illuminated on the instrument cluster. To do this, locate the reset button on the lower central console. Press this button and hold it down for at least 3 seconds, after which the low pressure indication will turn off.
