How to lock van and disable alarm (whilst inside)

Hi

We have a Citroen Dispatch 2.0 Enterprise (2017) van.

Sometimes I sleep in the back and I need to sleep with doors unlocked as the alarm can sometimes go off.

But the problem seems intermittent. Right now I’m inside the rear with doors locked and alarm does not trigger. (Maybe I am not moving enough?)

Because it’s intermittent, it can be difficult to troubleshoot.

Does someone have a definitive way to lock the van fully (rear and front) and ensure the alarm remains unarmed?

There is a button in the front cab driver side near window which looks like an alarm button but it doesn’t seem to do anything. Either way, I don’t want to have to get out of the back of the van to come and press this!

Is there a fuse you can remove to disable the alarm?

Re: How to lock van and disable alarm (whilst inside)

We reach over the seats and press the central locking button (the one with a padlock symbol, discussed here), which locks the doors without enabling the alarm. By contrast, locking the doors with the button on our key does enable the alarm, and it usually goes off as soon as we move. However, we are only able to reach over the seats from the back because we have removed the top half of the bulkhead, which you may not want to do.
