Weird one.. stopping / locking car
« on: 22 September 2013, 18:15 »
Had something a bit strange happen today.

Hoping it's just something I did by accident.

Pretty sure this is what I did:

Stopped the car, put it into park. Turned the ignition off and removed the keys. Noticed the radio was still playing (thought it odd) but switched it off. Got out and the car wouldn't lock?

Got back in, turned the ignition on, turned it off again, got out and it let me lock it. Erm!?

Are you keyless?

Was the door shut properly?

Are you sure you had closed the door properly first time. I know its a silly question but it's happened to me already. The doors are pretty heavy and need a good dunt to shut them.

Yep sure, surely the radio should have gone off also?

I'm not sure if the radio just switches off when the drivers door is opened these days? My old mans XC60 is like that.

Nope, radio stopped as soon as I removed the key.
