Just so others are aware, if a low life decided to enter the car...ie do a window, then drive off whilst you left it running. Your Insurance could be void and null as you failed to take the necessary precautions to prevent the theft.
I suspect you already have it Keith, I normally activate it on every car I change any options on

Start the car with one key close the door and see if it will lock with the spare, I suspect you will find it works, if not it soon will

There is a disadvantage to this method Chris. The engine will take much longer to reach normal operating temperature and so engine wear is increased.
Manufacturers always recommend for good reason that the windows are defrosted manually, the engine started and the car driven away immediately. Use the air conditioning windscreen defrosting mode to prevent misting. Your K series engine deliberately has a low capacity cooling system further to aid fast warm-up.

A bit of exercise on a cold morning is good for your health too!

Had my speed locking turned off, as found that passengers not used to it would only pull the internal release handle once and just keep tugging ....

Was worried they were going to pull the handles off .....

Isn't it illegal to leave a car unattended with the engine running? I'm sure it is.

AND .....if it is nicked, you will not be covered by insurance as it will be viewed as a "failure to safeguard" the vehicle.
