If you unlock with the key fob and open the doors and then close them, there is no automatic door lock feature. The old alarm had gone off three times randomly in the last 2-3 weeks.
Bit of trivia: A remote keyless-entry system using a handheld transmitter first appeared on the French-made Renault Fuego in 1982 followed by the U.S. made (in the Kenosha AMC plant) Renault Alliance in 1983. The first car I owned with it was a 1987 Renault GTA Convertible that I bought in 1991.

BTW whomever recently said to re-check our tire pressures on the first cold day of Winter was spot on. All of mine were down around 5psi. As mostly a Florida boy that was never something I had to worry about before.
