Hi All, 

 

My wife keeps forgetting to lock our relatively new Kodiaq  

 

It's not foolish an error as it may at first seem, because her previous car (a 2013 Renault Captur) auto-locked as she walked away from it. The owner didn't have to touch the handle or use the key fob, they simply shut the door, walked off and by the time you were 2m away you'd hear all the doors lock. This has got her into the habit of doing just that, shut the doors and off she goes! It was super convenient, the pinnacle of convenience when it comes to locking a car in-fact. 

 

So can I change any settings on the Kodiaq so that it operates in this way?

 

At present, we have to touch the handle once all the doors are closed to lock it. Is there any way of telling it to look once we're out of range, even if we didn't touch the handle or press lock on the key fob?

You either have to touch the indent on the handle ( can be done before all doors closed btw), or press the lock button on the remote. It cannot be set to lock doors without doing either of above.

You used to be able to code the car to lock when closing the drivers door, however it’s obviously flawed if your passengers don’t get out before you. Not sure if it’s possible to code it to anything MY20+
