Locking the car using the keypad on the door

[simone66]

Hi All, ...

New to the forum ......

 

I know I've probably missed this somewhere, but .......over the weekend, I wanted to leave my keys in the car, and lock it using the keypad on the door pillar. It wouldn't lock, so, what am I doing wrong? I figured I'd ask here before I get a chance to browse my manual later on.

 

Thanks in advance,...

I'm not sure if you ever found an answer to your question, but if you haven't you simply press the two lowest (physically not numerically) buttons on the key pad and that will lock all of the doors on the vehicle. Hopefully I could help.

I don't think you can lock it  with the key inside. Hope not, anyway. You may be able to lock it with the inside button and toss the key inside. I still expect not.

I don’t think you can lock your key in the car without removing battery from fob first.  I will be trying snodemon540’s recommendation of hitting lower 2 buttons on door panel and see if that works. I also read that you can wrap your keys in aluminum foil. I did watch a few videos on accessing car with dead key fob battery. Just lay dead fob next to charge plug in dash. It can sense it from there and you’ll be able to start it.
