I just discovered today after some testing with the key fob, that my car is not locking using the walk-away lock. I have this feature set to on on my car with the latest software 4.2. Here are the steps that I took:
1) car is unlocked and parked.
2) got out of the car with both key fobs and placed them over 30 feet away from the car.
3) after about 30 seconds, the door handles retracted and it looks like the car is locked, but it isn't.
4) I walked back to the car without the fobs and was able to open the trunk and touch the door handles and have them extend - ie the car was not locked.
The problem is that unless you specifically test for this, you would not find it because under normal circumstances, you would walk back to the car with the fob in your pocket and the handles would extend and you would normally assume that the car has unlocked and extended the handles for you.
I can lock the car using the fob but it will not auto-lock using the walk-away feature.
Can someone please check with their car to see if this is specific to my car or a global issue?
