Picked the daughter up from college in the Wife's Blueline II and nipped into Sainsburys for some milk. Force of habit I guess, but I flicked the remote locking as a walked away from the car. Came out of the shop a few minutes later to hear a car alarm going off. Then I realised it was the Fabia blaring away, with the daughter sitting in the passenger seat.

So at least I know the alarm is functioning OK, daughter was less than pleased to say the least

done the same thing in a octavia,son did not want to go shopping so he stayed inside full electric windows,summertime and in full sunthe doors locked automatic,nearly killed him 60-70degress for about 1hr,so easy to do luckily it eas'nt the dog:giggle:

Have to plead guilty to the same offence when I had an Octavia

But in my case it was “She who must be obeyed” in the passage seat

Fortunately I was only away for a few minuets so just about survived the ear bending

to stop this press the button with the car on it half way down the drivers door as you get out it lets you lock the car without the alarm going off if somone is sat in the passanger seat

Why would you want to lock someone in your car!?

If you are going to be away from the car long enough to warrant locking it then its kind of irresponsible to leave someone locked inside!

and if occupant would like to lock themselves in isn't there a button for that on the centre console - which they could unlock if they wanted.

Fair comment

But in my case it happened with the Octavia I had at that time and the fob was particularly sensitive

And was prone to activate when putting the keys in my pocket

You are right, the key fobs can cause issues.

The Octavia has a feature whereby if you press and hold the unlock button all the windows lower.

Quite a few people have sat on their keys and opened their windows in the rain!!

Irresponsible 100%,I had nightmares for months after locking him in,well I assumed I locked him in? he was sitting in the back and not in the front,I argued that the the car locked itself after I had close the driver door automatically,however I should have opened the windows or something I definatley did not lock the car with the fob,I will never ever leave a car again with someone sitting in it without opening the windows,thats why I will never buy a car with full electric windows , kids sitting in the back they can open the windows but with full electric windows this is an issue,I will never forgive myself for what I did that day and I will never ever leave a child or pet in the car again!!!

I caused trouble once at Waitrose in Dorchester, in the Signum. We had my Mother In Law and her sister in the car (both in their 80's). I parked up and they decided they'd stay in the car. As I walked away I flicked the key to lock it out of habit. My wife said hadn't I better leave it unlocked as the old folks were in the back. So I unlocked it again. Forgetting that it would lock itself if a door wasn't opened in 60 seconds.

We were in Waitrose when a call came over the Tannoy for the owner of my car to go to customer services.

When I got there I found a security man who wanted to talk to me about the two pensioners locked in a car in the car park with the alarm going off........ .

I don't think it is designed for you to lock SOMEONE in but SOMETHING like a dog. Locking the door stops someone from pinching your Chihuahua ( you wouldn't want that now would you) The switch on the door stops the alarm going of if your liitle chap moves

Irresponsible 100%

Picked the daughter up from college
