Manually Locking the doors
Is there a way to lock the doors without the remote or key? I wanted to lock my doors today but didn't have my keys. The power switch won't do it and you can't physically push the pin down. I ended up opening the rear door, closing the driver door, reached forward and pressed the lock button on the drivers door, and then closed the rear door.
There has got to be a better way??

I had been doing a few things in the driveway and had the car unlocked most of the day. Seems like a real issue if for some reason you can't get the keys...not all that likely but certainly within reason.

I used to have an Acura that required you to pull the handle out all the way before it would allow you to manualy depress the lock. Think I will give that a try tomorrow just to see what happens...probably break something...

I don't think it helps pulling the handle, it should just push the door lock pin up like when the door is closed and locked (at least on Euro cars).
