Hey Guys
I chose keyless locking/unlocking as an extra and as amazingly useful and cool as this feature is, it's annoying during cleaning.
The car continuously locks and unlocks itself when wiping the car dry for example.
One workaround is to unlock the car before cleaning/washing and keep the remote out of range but this isn't always convenient.
Does anyone know of a way to temporarily disable the touch sensitive surface areas?
I have gone through the settings but haven't been able to find anything. The local dealer didn't know either and has promised to inquire.
Keyless Touch sensitive surfaces and Cleaning
It is really annoying for it to open/lock whilst cleaning. I keep my key in one of those signal screening pouches when not in use. I take this out with me when I wash my car and slip the key into once open, problem solved.

Of coarse inside the car. The system deactivates once itโs senses the key inside the car. Imagine if you are inside a locked car and a stranger passes by and opens the car from outside using the keyless door knob.....keep the key inside the car and you should be ok.

Thanks guys! Reading this old thread saved after a year of annoying moments while washing the car helped a lot! I've tried leaving the keyless key in the cupboard holder today while washing and there were no locking/unlocking the doors.
Now I only have to find the way to calm down side mirrors after washing, other than pushing the memory button until they are back in their positions

Great thread, doors locking/unlocking while washing has been bugging me for the last 20 months of ownership. Thatโs all.
