Auto Locking Ph1

[Darren85]

Hey there.. Just wondering if someone can help me.. I think my car is supposed to have auto locking on it, so when I start to drive the doors automatically lock? Of course is this is actually on the Ph1's?

I have read about holding down the interior locking switch and I get the single beep when pressing the switch upwards, holding down the 'padlock' symbol, so I open the door, get back in, and when I start to drive, nothing.. It don't auto lock.. So I tried pressing it again, the opposite way holding down the symbol that looks like 4 doors open, again it beeps, get out lock up, get back in, drive.. nothing.. I know one way is supposed to activate it and the other is to deactivate it, but either way does nothing :S

I also tried this whilst moving at a steady speed of about 10mph.. get the beeps, but not the results.. Can anyone advise?
Times like this.. I wish I had the handbook!

I work in London at 1am.. Driving, it can be a bit iffy. I would love for this to work!

Cheers guys!

Hear a second what mate? Beep? I have tried holding the button both ways and it beeps when I hold it down towards the Door Open symbol it beeps once, hold it down towards the Padlock symbol, it beeps once, I can't get it to beep more then once in either position, no matter how long I hold it.. Frustration

A little update on this.. I went to a Renault Specialist earlier to pick up a new key, asked him about this and with a few clicks of the interior switch, it auto locks.. but then it unlocks about 1/2 second later.. he was totally baffled and so am I? He hooked it upto his lappy had a fiddle about with some things, tested locks etc.. drove off.. locked and unlocked.. he has NO idea.. and neither do I.. Anyone? :S

id say a door lock fault somewhere at a guess mate, as the autolock will unlock if a door is ajar

 

[Darren85]

Perhaps.. but wouldn't the symbol on my dash to say a door is open light up? I tested the plungers on the doors and the light went out.. Any thing else?

I ain't that fussed, but its something that don't work and I would like it too :rasp:

Mine does this exact same thing.

If i get in the car and drive off normally it does nothing.

If i get in the car, start it and drive off in a very short space of time, the doors auto-lock and then unlock themselves almost instantly.
