Car Wash = Car Gone Mad

So I was washing the W212 the other day and my door chime kept on going on and off.

Realized I had the key in my pocket and whenever I spray water over the door handle sensors, it would lock and unlock the car.

In my W211 it was a button on the handle....now the W212 comes with sensors in the handle it's more sensitive.

Thought I was going

Never happened to me and I always go keyless. What happens is that my front and rear sensors get triggered by the water.
