Door Locking

Hi

When I unlock the doors, if I don't put the key in the ignition and close the door, after a little while it locks itself. Very good idea if I had forgotten to lock it when parked, but a nightmare if I left the key on the seat or somwhere, as I have no spare key. I wondered if it's possible to program it to stop this happening.

cheers

John.

    it's usually the other way around , if you unlock the door via remote or key , only if you don't open the door should it re-lock .

    If you open the door then it should not auto lock.

    The system will not or should not auto lock when you get out and walk away from the car

    confirmed if you unlock the doors with remote and dont open them excluding the bonnet and boot then the doors will relock but if you open a door then close it again the car should not relock itself
