As a newbie here apologies if this has been covered before. I looked through the posts and couldn't see an answer.

We are going on an overnight ferry soon with the S Max Titanium X Sport on a 13 plate.Last time we went I couldn't work out how to switch the motion sensors off and ended up leaving it unlocked. I have looked through the manual but cant find anything in there. 

Any help greatly appreciated,

Steve

    IanTT - a belated thank you for the info on the alarm. We're just back from a two week French trip and the alarm didn't go off all night - although a few did. Only issue was a flat tyre that the foam was useless for. Meant we were without the car for a couple of days while the wheels of the French motor industry ground painfully slowly to get not one but two new extortionately priced Michelins!

    Thanks again.
