to find out if your car has a alarm all i can say is set the alarm and make it go off and that way you will also be able to locate where it is if it has one

How do you set the alarm and make it go off?

If it has an alarm fitted, which i believe it should have on this model, have a look for the presence of interior monitoring sensors, ie on the B pillars. Set the alarm with the drivers window open, wait for at least one minute and wave your arm inside the car, if this does not set off the alarm simply reach in through the window and turn on the ignition

Brilliant, thanks. How do I then turn alarm off?

If you have no remote then it will normally arm/disarm off the door lock
