Fast key question.

Quick question here. When washing your car do your doors get unlocked when water splashes on the door handles even tho your keys are no where near the car?
This happens to me almost every time I wash the car.

HAHAHA! That happens to me too, I was so confused at first, I guess the hot water and pressure hitting the door handles makes the car unlock. Beep Beep!

Yes you must have the keys near the door for this to happen. It's not like some random person can splash water on your car and get in...LOL
