I'd like to know if I can start my car up to warm up and then lock it and go back inside with my keyless go key-fob far enough away to unable the contact.
If there is a way can anyone tell me because after I locked the car the fob would not allow me to open the door either by using the fob button or my hand on the door handle.

I had to ring Mercedes-me and they after asking security questions they opened it for me.
I've looked in the book and can't find anything reference to this.
Thanks in anticipation....

I tried that yesterday, I wasn't warming the car up, I was just trying not to restart it as I have a niggling Charge Problem, I discovered that mine won't lock using the Key Fob from the outside with the Engine running!

Word of warning: your Insurance would not cover you if the car went missing whilst warming up!

I wouldn't tell them I'd say my key fob must have been cloned.

Anyway just found out that there is a key within the fob I've just watched a video on YouTube where I also saw that the fob will do more than I knew.
Happy days.

Insurance companies are not a pushover even if youre prepared to commit fraud.

I realise that and was tongue in cheek with my flippant reply, but now I see I can use a key encased in the fob.
Plus I always keep my fobs in a metal tin so they can't be cloned at home.
