Cut hole in roof with pocket knife and use a flare gun to signal for help.

OP needs to read the "survival kit" thread in case this happens again.

Yes.
I do expect the unlock button on the door to work also. I also realize from the scorn and other retarded posts that this is unreasonable for some reason though, so I'll just leave with my issue unresolved.
Thanks helpful forum!

That would make sense if i was having a problem with the fob. I'm not.

Because I wanted to determine the scope of the problem first.

Yes. That's why i posted that the fob works fine.

The windows won't roll down a few seconds after stopping the car too.
It's a disabling function the BCU performs when it thinks you don't need it anymore.

The reason people are making the comments they are is because of the way you worded your original post. At no point were you "locked in the car" as you put it. In fact, you even said, and I quote:

There is nothing freaky being locked in the car because you aren't locked in. But you made it sound as if you had no idea how else to exit the vehicle, and started freaking out a bit. This is nothing other than hilarious to everyone else because, well, you weren't locked in, and it would show an immense lack of observational skills on your part to not have noticed how the door locks work after even one hour of ownership.

Nothing wrong with the question you asked, but I suppose you just worded it poorly, and in such a way as to make yourself look rather silly.

it's like being locked in a room that can only be locked from the inside.

There is no "problem" it is just how the door locks work. You have 30 seconds to use the power lock before it deactivates. After 30 seconds you have to use the manual unlock. It is pretty much standard safety feature on all cars for many years now since it prevents any kid with a stick from pushing the window open and unlocking the car with a stick.


I must say that your original post did bring a humourous picture to mind even if you can't laugh along with the rest of us.

You know, this makes absolute sense, but I didn't know this was a thing. I guess I've never sat in a locked car with it turned off long enough to realize that.
