Stupid door lock question....

I have P2 with Keyless Go if that matters....

Here is what I want to do:

Park the car
Shut it off
Open the door and hit the LOCK button on the door while I am getting out
Shut the door

When I do that, the door remains unlocked.

Is there some setting I am missing?

I don't think you can lock the while the door is still open, you to close the door fully and then lock the car, to lock the car.

No,

it is designed that you cannot accidentally lock the keys in the car. You cannot lock the driver's door lock when the door is open, i.e. the lock pin does not go down if you try to press it nor does it go down if you use the electric switch.

You can lock the doors without the key by first having the driver's and rear door open and then pressing the lock switch. This will lock all door locks other than the driver's door. Then close the driver's door and press the lock pin down thru the rear door. After this close the rear door and all doors are locked.

So, you can lock your keys in the car but doing it takes an effort and surely is not by an accident any more.

Don't understand. You have Keyless Go. Why not just get out, shut the door, pop the outside of the door handle with the back of you hand???

Obviously the OP wants to do what he writes. I think he knows how it works but some people have a habit of locking the door while the door is still open and then just closing it. Most cars allow to do this or at least did. I also used to do this with some older cas I had. MB just "disabled" the possibility of accidentally locking the keys in the car.

Why not just crawl out the window then use your key fob to roll up the window? Not graceful, but you could actually lock the doors even before you get out. Isn't life a treat?

Thank you all for your replies.

I do know how to lock the car, I was wondering if I could lock it like I want to.
