Central locking...

[gareth3685]

My car (172 2003) always locks itself if you don't open a door after you've unlocked it with the remote locking after a few seconds - are they supposed to do this?

 

[DrR]

How long is a few seconds?

 

[Adamhodg]

Yea mine does this. About 10 seconds or something aint it?

 

[gareth3685]

Maybe about 30secs at a guess.

 

[gareth3685]

is there any way to turn it off? Its really annoying.

Its called R.A.I.D - Renault Anti Intruder Device, it locks the doors once the car goes above 5 mph, you can turn it off by pressing and holding the door locking button on the dash until a beep is heard

lol, this is another thing that confuses me, does it not make perfect sense? you get out your car, lock it, put keys in your pocket and accidently press the blip opening the car, now would you prefer it to be left open for x amount of hours, or lock it's self after 30 seconds?

Yeah I can see the advantage of that, as long as its supposed to be that way.

No - its before you've even opened the door and got in the car that I am refering to.

never thought about that???

better make sure i don't do such a silly thing!

it should lock after 30secs (says in the book)

 

[mikey 172]

If you unlock the car then don't open any doors,it locks itself automatically after a few seconds. They all do that I think
