We have a New Fiesta with Keyless Entry, I wondered what happened if the car was locked and you opened the boot and left the keys in the boot and shut it, well....

If the key is in your pocket it would lock

If the key is in the boot it will unlock the latch so you can retrieve the key means you are unable to lock them in the car, nice touch.

As an aside leaving the key in the car and trying to lock it, you can't it won't lock the doors.

    I'm so glad I've got standard keys after reading all these horror stories about keyless.

    I quite fancied the power start but you can't have that without keyless can you?
