I had no luck finding the answer in the manual - what does the off switch on the right do (I was afraid to turn it off because I could not find a corresponding on switch )?
It turns your interior motion detector/alarm on and off. For instance, if you have a convertible with the top down and you push the button as you exit the vehicle and someone reaches inside the car, an alarm goes off. Yeah, thought it was weird I could not find it in the manual either. Stumbled on a post around here somewhere.
What is the timing on this? Do you push it before you shut off the car or after? A lot of time my wife stays in the car while I fill it up, and with passive locking it locks when I get out.

If you turn it off, it will turn back on with the next ignition cycle (no timer however)
Thanks guys, I've always wondered how to do this. Every time I leave my mom in the car it goes off, she is always fidgeting with something while sitting and it goes off. L8R ZFLASH
Unless there's a reason to let it lock with someone in the car when set to passive lock, there's another option.
When you open the door to get out, press and Hold the unlock button until it beeps..
That shuts off the passive locking.
It will stay Off until the next engine start, or ACC mode or Service mode is used..
I do that when mine is in the garage so I can get into the car if I need to, or with someone in the car and I get out to get gas, etc.

You can't find that part in the OM, because it isn't there. While all of us Vert owners wish this was true, sadly, it is not. The Intrusion alarm is disabled with the top down. That button only disables the alarm, not enables it.

It's actually the intrusion/inclination detector alarm. Might make it easier to look up in the OM.

When pushing the button, it lights momentarily, and a message appears on the DIC saying "motion detector off."
