@Speed6ing 2 C-Maxing and @FoutsNC, I think you may be right in that the fob is sensed as still being in the car, so it unlocks itself.

@Shaners Thanks for the reply but I was not near the handle, just closed the door.

I think given the insight from everybody I'll just have to get in the habit of using the buttons on the fob after i'm a good distance from the car. I just want the car to actually be locked when i think it is.

But it is good to know that i probably wont be able to lock my keys in the car accidentally.

I have a C-Max SEL with the keyless ignition option. Because I don't require the key to start the car I always keep the fob in my pocket. I'm in the habit of using the lock buttons on the interior of the door to set the locks as I exit, then close the door. What has happened a couple of times is, after I close he door I will hear a click and the doors unlock themselves. It doesn't happen every time just about 3 or 4 in the three weeks I've had the car. Has anyone else had this happen? Just wondering.

I work at the Michigan Assembly Plant where the C-max is made (we also make the Focus). I have always bought at least one of the car styles that are made at my plant. Traded my Focus for the Ice Storm C-max.

lovin' it so far.

Hi,

I am three weeks after the purchaseof my C-Max SEL. I like the car so far and am just getting used to all the bells and whistles. I stepped up from a very basic Focus and the change is good.

I am pleased to find this forum and look forward to sharing the wisdom and experiences of others with mine.

Good day to all,

Mike
