09 Chevy HHR – Turn off Auto Saefty/Dome Light Features?
Ok, I got a new 09 HHR in Cash for Clunkers but now its frustrating because its a little too overboard on the safety features. For instance, I put a heavy box on the passenger seat and it beeped the whole way home because it wanted to have it buckled up due to the sensor in the seat. Also, if you lock the car with the remote clicker but unlock it with the key in the door, the Car Alarm goes off and vice versa. Also, if I turn off the car open the door and try to lock the car from the inside with the door button, it won’t lock! Plus whenever you put it in drive it auto locks the doors (quite annoying). Is there any way to change these things?
Also, I was on a camping trip and the dome lights stay on the entire time any door is open and wont turn off. There is no way to turn them off either as there is no dome override on the dash!
I looked in the manual for ways to go around these things but nothings in there. Does anyone know how to change these things?
not sure about the safety features, but in my 2001 Silverado, there is a button near the switch for the headlights called “dome override.” hit it once and the dome light might turn off, can’t really say since yours is a much newer Chevy. but when i hit my dome override button 4 times, it turns off the ‘daytime running lamps,’ or, the headlights don’t come on or go off automatically. the headlights are yours to control… so maybe the safety features can be deactivated as well?
Securing Your Home With Little or No Money
Security is very important. Many factors go into determining how secure your home should be. Home Alarm Systems come in various price ranges and options. You can keep your costs to a minimum by implementing a few simple security issues.
Home Security through a burglars eye
When considering a security system take time to view your home from a burglars point of view. Once you have done this you can generally save money when finally purchasing an Alarm System.
Most break-ins occur through a ground floor door or window. These are the areas that are of importance for your security. Burglars want to get the most from you in the shortest time with the least amount of risk.
Nighttime security
Do you have adequate lighting or do you have areas near the home that remain dark? The use of motion detectors to activate outdoor lighting increases the chances of a burglar leaving.
Daytime security
Are doors and windows obscured from view? Keep your hedges and trees trimmed eliminating a burglars ability to hide from passers-by while breaking into your home.
Door and Window Security
Do you have quality deadbolts on your doors? A good deadbolt, properly installed will make it more difficult for a burglar to gain entry into your home.
Check all your windows and make sure that they are secured when closed. You can use a block of wood or even a nail to secure windows that have broken locks or insufficient locks.
By doing these few simple things you can increase your home security and the chances a burglar will not attempt to break into your home.
Purchasing a Home Security System
Once you have taken care of the simple things mentioned above you can now move on to purchasing a home alarm system.
All outside entry doors should be protected with a contact. You can protect property from entry points resulting through a window by strategically placing a motion detector so that a burglar must pass this point before getting to other areas of the home.
You should place the Alarm Keypad for the security system near your primary entry/exit door. Since thieves know this as well you may consider installing a second keypad in your bedroom or office.
The security system should sound a siren should an unauthorized entry trigger an alarm, enticing the intruder to flee. The Alarm system should also include a way to initiate an alarm manually if you suspect an intruder.
Your involvement and the bare bones system described above can go a long ways to increasing your home security. The key factor to the overall cost of purchasing a home security system is your peace of mind.
Increased security risks
Extra security components may be required depending on other factors such as, location and/or neighborhood, outdoor landscaping and the homes overall attractiveness to a burglar.
Give your Home a security check-up
Call your local police or sheriffs department to see if they offer free security checks. Some security companies also offer free home security checks as a part of their sales consultations.
