Keyless System

After switching the engine off how do you get the steering lock to kick in with the keyless system? I turn the wheel and it never locks when the engine is off.

Normally when the key is taken out and the wheel is turned it locks at certain points.

    I just tested it by sitting inside the car and locking with the key fob... it does lock the wheel without the need of turning it so it's all ok i guess.
