Little things that annoy me about my G

My father had a Volvo with an intelligent key system. From what I recall you just walked up to the car with the key in your pocket and pulled the handle to open the door. If you have the key, it opened, otherwise it didn't. So it therefore also works for locking the car -- just walk away and it won't open anymore.

I was in a Walmart parking lot changing the battery in my Jeep GJ. A lady pulled in to a spot directly in front of me and walked into the store, leaving her 2 passengers in the car.
A few minutes later the passengers stepped out and the alarm went off. I was in a bad mood already, because of the dead battery in my car. When their alarm went off it really made my day.

Lets say you stop for gas. What would happen if there were still people in the car, after you walk off and the doors automatically lock. If one of the passengers decides to get out of the car, after you have left, wouldn't the alarm go off?

Yeah, my wife's Lexus has a smart key system without a button. You just grab the door handle and pull when you have the key in your pocket, and to lock it you just tap a little indented area toward the front of the door handle. While it's cool, it doesn't bother me to push the button to unlock and lock. I do wish the button was body colored, but luckily my car is a darker color where it doesn't stand out as much.

[quote=hispeed-lowdrag;2894905]1) how would you open it if you didn't press the button?
2) that is somewhat annoying, but my fob is in my pocket 99% of the time anyways
3)it is on an OB G
1) In my wife's Lexus, the door unlocks itself automatically at the instant when your hand touch the door handle. For the G37, often times I would pull the handle and then realized I was not driving the Lexus.
2) This is annoying when dropping off or picking up kids who need to open the trunk or when at home and need to go to garage to get someting from trunk.
3) That's true. LOL.

Yeah, I think they all unlock when you hit the on/off switch, but not when you put it park...like I do ALL the time to drop off or pick up my son at Day Care, or to run back into the house...or to run into the store...whatever...it's the only vehicle I know that does this...All others lock at 5 +/-mph or higher and then unlock when in Park....
