ireynolds Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 I got my car about 3 weeks ago, and so far - loving the experience. It wasnt until the other day that someone else needed to get in too. And I realised that the passenger side door is temperamental in unlocking from the key fob. The strange thing is, sometimes it does work. and if i press the button on the door to central lock, it works first time every time...so there is nothing wrong with the central locking motor. I assume this isnt a feature of the car....is there anyewhere i should start looking to resolve this? Quote
Ebized Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 You have to press the key entry button twice to include the unlocking of the passenger door and as you have found, you only need to press the close button once for both doors to lock. If you refer to your handbook you will see you can alter the setting so that both doors unlock with just one press of the entry button. If you havn't got a handbook let us know and it can be sorted out. ( at the moment it is absolutely chucking it down here so not venturing out to get my handbook from the car just yet!) Quote
ireynolds Posted December 4, 2008 Author Posted December 4, 2008 Thats great - wish i had looked in the owners guide first - i just assumed it to be an issue. sorry. my bad!!! Quote
Sarnie Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 If you refer to your handbook you will see you can alter the setting so that both doors unlock with just one press of the entry button. Hold both the open button and close button at the same time for 5 secs IIRC to change the setting Its an anti carjacking facility. Quote
Stew Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 I never knew you could change it! I've only had the car 2 and a half years, haven't got round to reading the handbook yet! Quote
SunsetZed Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 that's great, thanks Sarnie I'll be making that change. She's always complaining that I don't unlock the passenger door, I'm climbing in leaving her standing in the cold, again Quote
nixy Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 I love reading the handbook and hate not having one on my import....... Quote
M350ZB Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 Cheers Sarnie, had the zed just over a year and still learning new things about it Quote
Mathys Posted December 7, 2008 Posted December 7, 2008 Can someone confirm this works on older models as well? As I always under the impression that this trick doesn't work on 2004 models or older... Quote

WoREoD Posted December 7, 2008 Posted December 7, 2008 Took me over two years to realise that by holding down the display button for the multi-function display for a few seconds the time is displayed and then reverts to what was previously displayed - use it all the time now - well not all the time - you know what I mean!

That sounds good, tried the lock pattern changing on my 53 plate and can't get it to work, hoping its just me being stupid and someone else can do it at a meet soon... Quote

Hold both the open button and close button at the same time for 5 secs IIRC to change the setting Its an anti carjacking facility. For anyone not having success, Sarnie is nearly right - but the book says you push the buttons simultaneously for more than 5 seconds Just repeat the procedure if you want to go back to just the driver's door lock opening.
