And try the double key click to open all doors for getting into the car. The auto-lock just seems a bit unnecessary when there's rear childlocks if you want to keep kids from opening the doors and a lock button on the centre console if you want to lock the doors if you're scared of carjackers or weirdos when you're stationary...?
Other than that I love the car!

If you are ever in Lincolnshire let me know and I will configure your locking system to how you want it

Cheers, that's kind of you. Although Bigruss is remapping for me at some point soon, so he says I can alter settings like autolock at the same time as that. Appreciate the offer though.

I have this switched on as my wife likes the security of knowing the cars doors are locked when she is driving alone. The doors do not unlock as you slow down and or stop.

The door locking procedure is to help stop people opening your passenger door, or any other doors, when at traffic lights, with your wife’s handbag full of all her, and your worldly goods being stolen off her lap. This is happening all the time, especially in areas that are well known to police. Safety first is a good motto.

I don't have auto lock, I wish I did, I lock the doors manually when in known high crime areas - Mrs Costa has it on her own car thankfully. Most crims know full well that a woman always has her handbag in the front of the car so traffic lights etc are optimum spot for chancers.
