central locking in sub zero temp
Hi everyone,
It's been very frosty and icy here in the uk recently, with temperatures dipping down to -6 degrees celcius.
One morning I opened the driver's door via touching the driver's door handle (i.e.keyless go), as usual.
When I tried to open the other doors from outside, I noticed the other three doors central locking did not operate i.e. the buttons in each door did not raise up.
I also noticed none of the door's self closing aids worked including the boot!
I checked that the keyless go card had the function set to on for ALL doors to open, which it was.
After the car warmed up by driving for over 15 minutes and the exterior temperature increased to above 4 degrees celcius, all the central locking doors and self closing aids worked.
Any ideas?
