When I forgot to lock my car, it used to lock by itself after like a minute or so. It doesn't do that anymore....how come?

Are you talking about the feature when you unlock the door(s), but you dont open any of the doors...then the car re-locks itself for you after a minute or so?

Or is this another feature you're talking about?

Like, lets say I just got home. I get out of the car and I'm busy on the phone, so i forget to lock my car. It used to lock after a minute. Now it doesnt.

Does it have anything to do with getting a new key? Cuz when my mom got her S550, my parents ordered another key for me for the ML, which is now mine.

Reminds me of a feature on the old Autopage alarms....it turns ON the alarm and locks the car a minute after the last door is closed....EVERYTIME.
