car locked me out

[monkie]

Hasn't happened to me.

But the 86 GTS in AUS has a smart key with push button start so key never goes into ignition or out of my pocket is that the same as the FR-S?

no, the FR-S has a regular key (there's no push button start option)

Good thing it didn't happen at work - that would have sucked.

that is exactly why you need keyless entry.

Something I always do when leaving the car running is lower the window just enought to get my hand inside.

Also note: My doors auto lock occationally when I open and shut the trunk.

Happened to me a few months ago....extremely frustrating!! I had to go in through the trunk, put the rear seat down, climb into my car and reach for the unlock switch, and slide back out of the trunk. Probably the most awkward position to be in ever.

If this did happen while you were out in the car you can always do the same thing I had to do because there is a physical key inside the keyless remote to access the trunk.

Glad I'm not the only one, I do the exact same thing. I've had more snow drop into my car by doing this but I can't bring myself to close the doors with the window up.

Its okay snow is better than being locked out haha, if anything you can always just close the door to the point right before it latches to prevent snow, but of course theres some paranoia in that lol

I've come close to shutting the trunk (doors locked) with the keys inside. That will be a bad day indeed.

Thank God I have Keyless entry on the BRZ. I tried to close the trunk one time and it didn't lock cuz the remote was still in the trunk. lol

Freakin' paranoia ruins everything!

With the FRS, does the car auto lock if you forget to lock it when exiting the car?

Something in your pocket pressed against the lock button on the fob.

Mine has done this as well.
