Rube Goldberg lives. 1) Preparing to leave parked and recently shut off car, roll down driver's window. 2) Lock all doors. 3) Exit car via driver's door and close it. 4) Through open window, lock driver's door. 5a) If no fob inside, with fob in hand reach inside with that hand and push Start button three times, to go through On to ACC to Off again. 5b) If fob is inside, Start button should work. No work, need extra fob for 5a. 5c) For both of these, PLEASE be sure you turned the car Off again! 6) Activate auto-up on driver's window, and yank arm out quickly. Not sure of status of alarm...
Several threads exist where people wanted to accomplish the locking of the car with a fob inside. Countermeasures prevent it. I knew it was feasable, so I documented one way of doing it. About the only flaw I found today is that SKS isn't active until you press a black button to officially lock the door. If you did it when leaving it probably wouldn't work since the car doesn't want to be locked with a fob inside. So pressinbg the black button when you get back lets you then unlock the car the SKS way. People with no interest can ignore the procedure...
The windows stay powered for 45 seconds after the car is turned off, but only if both front doors are closed. If a front door is opened during that 45 seconds, power to the windows is immediately cut. - - - - - - *** If power is off, it is easy to lock a smart key inside with the use of the second smart key’s lock button, or using the metal key. While outside of the car, pushing the lock icon on the second smart key will lock a smart key inside the car. *** Pushing a black lock button (on either of the two front doors, or the hatch) will not allow a key to be locked inside . . . if the inside key can be sensed by the system. That is why one should get use to using the SKS as intended. Leave the smart key in your pocket or purse and use the door handles to unlock and black buttons to lock.
