Just checking. I have the very same button  on my car and it's a full UK spec Dutch import. I thought for some reason we had seperate buttons for interior  alarm and incline sensor.

I have a slightly different button, its a rocker switch, press the top to disable interior sensors and the bottom to disable the inclination sensor ... or vice versa!
