Can anyone with an early saloon or Tourer confirm if pressing the footwell release button when the car is locked sets the alarm off?

The fuel filler lid has a lock that activates with the central locking so might it be that?
I don't think it's for the fuel filler lid as that is a motor to lock it, whereas the wiring diagram is stating there's a switch for it with a switch symbol, which doesn't make sense.

The LED on turns on with the courtesy lights when the car is unlocked.
