I want the security aspect of "If I had the doors all centrally locked, and I turn off the car and open my door then the other doors DON'T unlock", but I often find myself turning off the car, opening my door, getting out, stepping to the passenger door behind me, and yanking on a locked handle to no effect 🤦

What would be useful would be if the central locking light (on the button console just in front of the shifter) would stay lit for a few minutes when the doors are centrally locked and I've turned off the car and opened my driver's door, to give a visual indication of "You doofus, if you get out and try to open the rear door now, without whacking the central locking button first, you'll just look like a stupid monkey banging on technology you don't understand!".

😅

Is there a coding option to have the centre console central locking button light stay on for a while after turning off the car/ opening the driver's door, or, really, any other way to get an indication that "the other doors are still locked"?

thanks,

My octavia is the same one press and drivers door unlocks but needs two sometimes three to unlock other doors. Total pain. Keeps telling me to check deadlocks?? Read somewhere something to do with security. I get double press for boot security but why passenger doors?? Must be a way of disabling it.

Alasdair

I haven't encountered that - IFF I (remember to) press the central locking button (once) it will unlock everything.

My (ab)use case is, for whatever reason, at some point I press the central locking button to lock all doors, then when I park the car I forget all about it, stop the car, turn it off, DON'T press the central locking button again, open my driver's door (which will open no matter what the lock condition), and look like an idiot tugging on another door handle (which is still locked).

(The boot will [almost] always open for me, because I [almost] always have the keyfob physically on my person, and the proximity of the keyfob will allow the boot to open no matter the car locking status).

Is there any way to get the central locking system to give me an indication inside the cabin once I've parked - especially, right after I've turned off the ignition - before I get out (maybe as I open the 'locked' driver's door), to remind me that I've still got all of the other doors locked?
