Alarm Auto re-lock

gkanel · 20th August 2007, 08:41

Hi all,

I have the 07 model and I noticed that If I unlock the car BUT not open any door the car will lock automatically after about 5 mins. Can anybody verify this? Are there any other similar features for the 07 model?

My '07 does this also, and I think you will find that virtually any recent car with remote locking will do it.

It is a safeguard in case you accidentally unlock the car (e.g. while putting the keys away inside the house) and don't know that you have done it.

Verified.
But I think it is more like 1 than 5 minutes.

It also self-locks on my 06 EX, or at least it has since the MICU/Door switch was changed. It locks after about 1 minute.

Mine self locks after well less than a minute. ?

Cad · 30th October 2007, 23:07

Actually I think you're right. Around 30 seconds would be nearer the mark I reckon.

Jack The Lad. · 30th October 2007, 23:24

Thank gawd I have posted something right then Cad.

As long as you don`t open a door after unlocking the car will auto lock after 30 seconds, it does tell you this in the handbook

Wasser098 · 28th November 2007, 04:51

Mine locks after about 30 seconds too!

spile · 28th November 2007, 12:31

Same on the old type Civic.

Your car won't lock itself, you still have to push the button. But when you UNlock it, and don't open any door, it wil RElock itself after 30 sec.

Stupid Belgian...

My '01 Civic Coupé does this also. I think it's some kind of mandatory thing.

One thing to be aware of (it happened on our Corsa) is that if you open a door and the door light switch is faulty, even after you have been in the car it can relock as the car thinks it has no be opened.

its written in the manual

Loads of the questions on here are in the manual.... people don't like to read their manual!

And the good thing about this forum (unlike many) is that I've yet to see a 'RTFM!
