Hi guys,
Just returned from vacation with my four month old TDCI with an unpleasant experience!
Returning from the beach in the afternoon,I unlocked the trunk with the remote control key,to put myfishingstaff inside.Without thinking ,I placed the key in my bckpack,placed the backpack inside the trunk and closed the door!I assumed that the car wouldn't lock again with the sensor key in it.Well...I was wrong!The car locked again,I was out and the key inside!(Important notice:I was in the middle of nowhere near a deserted beach with cellphone,wallet etc locked inside the car,300 km away from home)
Sometimes when car is parked under the sun I leave a window slightly open to avoid overheating of the inside of the car.Looking around the beach near an old building I found a piece of thick wire.I inserted it through the 1cm opened front passenger window and after 20 min I managed to unlock the door by pushing back the safety.
1)What would happenif I hadn't left the window open?
2)Does it make sense for the car to lock with the key inside?
So be aware!
