Does anyone know if you can lock the car by touching it with comfort access?

Also, has anyone experienced this: CA key in my pocket while washing the car and the doors/alarm locks and unlocks rapidly....maybe 3 or 4 times in a row.

Touch where the lock is on the driver door or where it would be on any other door for a second or two and they will lock. Leave the key somewhere in the car or move it more than 20' or so away when washing and the doors won't lock/unlock. The water is setting the sensors on the handle off as if you were touching them.

If you put the key fob in the slot on the steering column, the car will not lock/unlock while washing the car. This is actually a feature that's described in the manual for this exact purpose...
