Thanks to everyone for the information. I'll try to see if my windows are working as they should. It seems the big owners manual says you need to have the key in the lock but the quick reference guide suggests you can press and hold button #1 on the key (like my MB).
Would the passenger compartment monitoring be activated with the top up but the windows down? I think the alarm system detects a fault when the windows are down and gives the horn warning but I believe everything else is activated.
I now know I need to make sure I wait for a period of time after arming to check the system. Thanks for putting up with the "new owner figuring the car (and owners manual) out" questions.
