If you have remote central locking, then press the button that locks/unlocks the car,
If not then put the key in the drivers door and turn it,
thats how ive always done it

How would you usually stop the alarm, say if it was parked outside your huse and it went off?

Have you tried just leaving it to go off itself?
Not sure how long it will take but my alarm sounds for 30seconds then goes off
