Seal Door Handle Help

Hi, not sure if this is normal if somebody could help. If the car is left unlocked for any length of time the door handles retract. When I go back to it. Should the handles extend again by themselves? If not how do you get them out apart from locking the car and then unlocking it again? Many thanks

When you leave the doors for a while they simply retract without locking so if you or anyone goes to click the button it will just open but if you have the key with you then it will just lock

Ah so it's because I have the key, I take it they don't automatically extend when they sense the key nearby then...

They do not extend when they sense the key and its such a stupid design by them and Im hoping they fix it in a software update

It seems backwards to me. If you have the key they should extend, and if you don't then it should be "I'm gonna lock even harder!"

If you depress the front end of the handle, it will extend the rear end allowing you to grasp it and open the door, but only if it is unlocked.

You can just double press and it opens without locking if you have the key.

It's a design decision, they decided to protect against signal repeater attacks over a little convenience. Any system that uses key proximity to allow unlocking the car can rather easily be spoofed by remote unlock your car by having one person with a repeater standing near you and one beside the car.

Didn't know that, thank you.
