      Not a problem. and the reason it doesnt lock if you enter than exit, is because what happens if you plan on coming right back to the car, and you leave your keys inside? Or you just feel like leaving your keys in your car, and it locks on you. That would stink!

      as far as the flashing red light not being there before, that seems strange...I cant think why it would work sometimes and not others

      Hate to have come back to this but it is really puzzling. All this started a few weeks ago. I've had the car nearly 4 years! The auto locking started in May as did the red warning light.

      Over the past two weeks I've kept a note of what has happened. Parked in out-door car park or street parking there is no flashing red light! To prove this today I parked in an open car park and locked the car with me in it - no light. When I was away and parked in a subterranean car park at the hotel (dim lighting) or in my garage (also dim) and at the local dealer workshop (also dim), the light flashes.

      Both my wife and I have checked on every occasion that we have parked in open car parks and have seen no light.

      The obvious conclusion is that the warning light only works in badly lit or dark environments. That seems a bit daft!

      Why both the door lock feature and the security light have not worked before is a mystery. We would certainly have seen the pulsating light in the hotel car park as we have been there a dozen times! We could see it flasing at some distance this time!

      I'm not concerned about it but as I don't like mysteries therte has to be an answer.

      Is there a Sherlock Holmes out there?
