Strange. I’ve tired to do this deliberately and was unable to do it.

How did you lock the car? In the door handle button?

Yeah, my door button doesn't even work if the key is in my pocket and I'm reaching out

It would surely just unlock again when you clicked the microswitch on the door handle?

I also locked my kids inside the car to test what happens if you do that too. And now we know.

Yes I use the door handle button most of the time

Wouldn't it just unlock again if you click the button on the door handle?

No it didn't. Which I also find weird

The only time this happened was when I had the other key on me on ver y close by. Just tested it by leaving the key in the seat and could not lock it at all by using the button. If you are sure you did not have the other key on you id contact the service center about it.

Sounds like the battery in the key fob is a bit flat. Where in the car was the key when you locked it inside?

Battery in fob could be low

It was on the seat, Slid out my pocket. Never thought of a low battery I will go ahead and change that, It's been more than a year now since I had the car

Doesn't it set the alarm off?

The microswitch isn't supposed to work if it doesn't detect the fob on the outside of the vehicle, only way to unlock and lock when the fob is flat is with the NFC card or physical backup key... If you use the physical backup key to unlock I'm fairly certain it sets off the alarm until you put the fob in the centre console and start the car

Only if they try and get out. I mean open the door. It was beginning to sound creepy. 🤣

Can’t you unlock on the app?

I do this when I drop my car off to get tyres or servicing, lock keys inside using the app, shop calls me when they're ready and i unlock via the app. They can then get in and use the key, handing it back to me when I pick it up.
I tested this extensively before trusting that the process worked.

Just take the door off a microwave and ask them to turn it on while you’re outside the car. Problem solved permanently.

Probably, if you leave car for long enough handles will pull in without locking

Atto 3 door handles don’t pull in?

if you didnt have the keys, how did you lock the car?

Yeah that's weird.
It's impossible to lock my Tang if there's a key inside.
One time I even thought it was broken because it wouldn't lock. It turns out my wife's backpack was inside the car and her key was in it. I took out the backpack and sure enough it locked right up.
Maybe it's what people say and the battery of the key fob is low. Try changing it and see if it happens again.
In my case, the key fob was in the trunk.
