Hi, im having 2 problems with my boot.

1. Not sure if this just a crappy feature but when i shut the boot it doesnt lock by itself, i have to manually lock it.

2. Whenever the car hasnt been opened in say 10 minutes and i go to open the boot the alram will go off until i open the drivers side do (unlock it)

3. Unlocking the drivers side door will only open the drivers side door. Is there an easier way to open all the doors (or even the front two) without flicking the lock switch back and forth each time?

Thanks, John

1. Boot lid (tail gate) doesn't lock by itself. Normal behaviour.

2. Unlock. don't open doors, 30 seconds later it locks itself. Tail gate should lock too. If it stays unlocked, and you can open it without the key, the alarm sounds. Obviously something wrong with the tail gate mechanism if it doesn't autolock after 30 seconds.

3. KEY: Flick it anticlockewise once, opens drivers door only. A second flick opens all the others including the tailgate.
REMOTE: Same, press green button once, drivers door only, second press opens everything else.

Don't hold any of the buttons down for more than 3 seconds, sets off alarm. Yes, it's supposed to do that. lol
Small third button on the remote does nothing on the wagon, on the sedan two presses pops the boot.
