Auto Lock with Keyless Go?
My C7 Corvette auto locks the doors when I walk away from car with key in my pocket.
Is there a setting to do the same with 2015 E400 Keyless Go without physically touching the indentation part of the handle bar before walking away from car?
Thanks,

That would annoy the hell out of me. I park in my garage and go in and out of my car all of the time without the key. If it auto-locked every time I got out and I had to carry the key with me to get into it I would not be happy. You are closing the door with your hand. Is it really that difficult to touch the handle?(you don't need to touch the indent either)

I too would rather it locked as I walked away, as it is now, I just don't bother locking it.
That's the beauty of computers, programmers can make it so people can pick if it locks when you walk away/unlocks when you approach, or locks and unlocks only when you touch a door handle.

Agreed.
Prefer to have a choice of the 2.
As I'm so used to it just locks when I walk away from my everyday Vette.
Just don't wanna hear my wife nagging me "Did you lock the door?" everytime I forget to touch the handle everytime I drive her E....

I assume the sensor shows the seat are empty after you exit. Then the horn will blow if the keys are in the car, and the door will not auto lock. I so miss this function had it on my Caddy and a Toyota Avalon. You just walk away and you hear that thud of the door locking. I have left this car open every night. I'm so use to not clicking a key fob. Don't understand why MB doesn't offer it this functionality with key less go.

1. This feature may be patented and MB does not want to pay fees to use it?
2. What about if you have someone else sitting in the car when you walk in a store or something and the car locks. Then the person manually unlocks the car from inside to get out and causes the theft alarm to activate. Without the keys it cannot be disabled... possibly causing also the MBRACE to get activated due to the alarm (if owner has subscription). Of course there are ways to detect if people are inside the vehicle and system can be made not to lock if someone is inside the car. Perhaps far fetch but a possible problem.
I lean towards the option 1 above. Some other "car company" came up with this idea and patented it. This car company can sell rights to use it. It can also refuse selling it to anybody it likes not to sell to. The "car company" above can also be a person not related to any car manufacturer.

Same goes with the trunk. It will not lock with keys in and it works like this at least from 2010 model that I drive.
The way to lock keys in the car is to first lock all doors with the button in the driver's door with the driver side passenger door open. Then close the driver's door and thru the passenger door push the lock pin down on the driver's door. Then make sure the lock pin is down on the passenger door and close the door.
I have had this useful when I leave my car for service at my dealer and come pick up the car after business is closed. The dealer can leave the keys in the car and I access the car using my 2nd key.

Well, there are a couple of possible reasons:
1. This feature may be patented and MB does not want to pay fees to use it?

Proefke and his team are responsible for engineering the feature, which allows the driver to lock, unlock, and start a vehicle without taking the key fob out of a purse or pocket.
But besides the various convenience aspects, the keyless entry system also incorporates many precautionary features that aren’t readily apparent to the everyday driver. For instance, the system prevents the driver from being locked out of the car by refusing to lock doors, all while sending out an audible alert when the key fob was left inside the vehicle. In this respect, the system tries to anticipate the driver’s actions and predict the next logical set of events.
What’s more, the system is also highly secure: a common myth is that someone is capable of capturing a key fob signal in order to break into and subsequently steal a vehicle. With advanced key fob technology used by GM, signals to and from the car (and the key fob) are encrypted and change with each button press — making stealing the signals (also known as sniffing) virtually impossible.
If you’re itching to experience the keyless entry system for yourself, look for it on the Buick LaCrosse — where it is available on the CXL trim level while being standard on the CXS. Other vehicles include the Buick Regal Turbo and the Cadillac SRX."
