I've noticed the auto-relock thing. Seems that lots of the newer cars are incorporating it these days.

When I noticed it...It was raining out, and I had unlocked (touched the door handle) the car for my gf and walked away to put the dog inside before we left. She had taken a little too long, and it re-locked before she could get in - and I was still inside with the dog. She ran back in screaming because I "didn't unlock the car for her" even though I did! Silly, petty, fights

 

I've still yet to try this, I keep forgetting and I don't have the car today.

If you have the FAST key system, leave the car running, close all the windows except for the drivers side window, get out of the car, close the doors, reach in and hit the auto window up button and pull your hand out before it gets crushed. Is the car now locked with the motor running? Can you get back in using the FAST fob?

I got a $10 bet with the dealer.He said I couldn't lock myself out of the car with the motor running. Plus it would be useful when I drop by an atm or something and I don't wanna shut the car down.

 

^That sounds interesting. I'll try doing that later today...it'll be interesting if I do lock myself out though.

 

Heh i guess you can always try that trick with the window open.

Probably doesn't make a diff if its closed or not. Technically it should lock regardless. Only question is would it unlock with the key fob.

 

YES! I have been waiting for some one to try this ahaha, I was going to but I did not want to get locked out, glad we have someone willing to though

 

Just tried this...DO NOT roll the windows up if you want to confirm yourself. When the motor is running, and you're outside of the car WITH the fob - the fob is unresponsive. All button functions are DISABLED and touching the door handle will not unlock the car if it is manually locked with the window down. You WILL lock yourself out.

Looks like you won your bet

 

If you have the fast key with you and you are locked out of a running car, you should be able to walk away. Once you are far enough away, the car *should* shut off, at which point, the fast key should be able to unlock the doors again.

 

i can leave my car running get out and walk away with the key fob.. go into a store.. bank whatever.. and it doesnt shut off..

 

I had to quote this.. just had to

 

i tried to change the door lock thing 100 times yesterday. Maybe I'm reading it wrong.

hold down lock for 4 seconds
then both together for 10 seconds
then let off lock for 4 seconds
then let off unlock???

is that right

 

I'm guessing u can use the emergency key to unlock the door then. So in actuality u cannot lock yourself out. But thanx for the experiment

 

to win the bet. leave the fob in the car. close the door reach in and lock the door. roll up the window. locked out and no way in.. bet won

 

lol, how'd you manage to get back in ur car?

if i move too far away with the FAST key, all the car does is whine and beep with the "confirm key location" display

 

LOL nice but then he'll be SOL. There is always a way in. Ever heard of the cell phone trick?

 

cellphone trick??? explain
