I am not trying to be rude or offend anyone but I figured I would start a new thread to explain this. I realized there are people that may not understand so I will explain. Honestly, I didn't understand this and the dealership had to explain it to me.

The car doors do not lock themselves so don't worry about locking your keys inside the car. The locking system of this car is very simple and smart.

Try doing this... get out of your car and close the door. Hit the lock button on the remote. Then unlock it with the remote but DON'T open the car door. Wait about 30-45 second and the car doors should lock back down on their own. It does this because the doors never opened. It made the decision to lock itself back down as a safety feature because it sensed the door never opened after you hit the unlock button. I heard there is a way to turn this feature off but never bothered to look it up.

The rule is very simple.... if you get out of the car and close the door without touching anything, the doors will remain unlocked.

Here is another thing to note. Try locking the car with the door open. The pin on the door will only go down halfway. The door may look locked but it isn't.

As I said... I am just passing what I have learned on. I was a fool and didn't understand that the car monitors the door for the central locking system. I thought there was a problem until the dealership explained how it works.

Also keep in mind, the battery in the remote could be low or the button could be jammed and that could cause interference and make the system do wacky things. I have seen that happen on many cars.

This car is very simple... yet complicated. I had this car more than 4 years and I am always learning something new.
