Oh my.... I love it and I kind of think you have something there Saurabh. I am feeling a little incompetent now that you mention it. I will just hand over the keys to my wife, but on the other hand, she has a problem finding the ignition, so maybe I will just take it back.

Second thought, that's not going to happen. Maybe a siren on the roof to warn folks that I am coming......

Hey MEX, I may have mislead you a little. There is a setting for auto locking once the car is in motion, but not an unlock (of course, you may not want to listen to me... remember, I couldn't find the lock/unlock button).

Hey MEX, I see from another post that you are having a problem finding the internal trunk latch. Maybe we are related.

It could get nasty if we meet on the road.

nahh now youre trying to toss the ball at me!!!

no, i dont have it, it seems european cars dont come with it so they can save $1.22 USD on each car. My car obviously is not european but from what ive read its comes mostly with euro specs.

anyway have fun with the unlock button

Don't forget you can pull the door handle twice to unlock an individual door w/o using electronics.

My Bad. Thanks Kyriacos. Boy am I embarrased. Hey, nothing like driving around for a month and never noticing the unlock button. Boy, wonder what else I am missing.

It is anti hijacking and you can set it off in the I-drive settings menu. I love that option and I feel really safe nowing that I will not get any unwanted passengers..

btw everytime a new passenger comes along with me I tell them that they have to pull twice to open the door..

tell them don't whine when they are sitting in one of the best all-around cars and especially it's a free ride . or you can simply kick them out by the next bus stop .
