I bought a G35s in April. After I fill the tank with gasoline, close the hatch, and return to the driver's side door, I find that all 4 doors are locked. This is annoying. Do others find this happening? Is there a way to over-ride this "feature"?

Good thing I always take my keys with me to unlock the fill hatch.

 

Chaz,
If you locked the doors and went inside to pay, tehn came back out and unlocked it to open the gas door. Unless you have unlocked one of the doors, the system thinks you may have just hit the remote by mistake and locks it after a couple of minutes.
Also, though the do not mention it in the manual, those of us that do not have the Premium Package, the headlights turn off after a few minutes if left on.

Thanks Merlin, but that is not exactly what I am doing...I just drive up to the pump, open the door and get out, press the key fob twice to unlock the gas hatch, put my credit card in the "pay at the pump", pump in the 92 octane, let the pump stop, look at the final price and curse my leadfoot driving habits, put the pump nozzle away, close the hatch, grab my receipt, run around to the driver's side, and every time find that the damn door is locked.

 

Chaz,
Pressing the button twice or once, does not matter, to unlock the gas door with all the doors closed will cause the alarm to activate the locks. I guess they are trying to second think owners and say maybe we pressed the wrong button or forgot to ........[img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]
Either way the doors will lock.

Thanks - is there a way around it - leave the driver's side door ajar? The dealer told me that I had to press the key fob to unlock the gas hatch - I actually never tried to open the hatch without doing that first.

Oh well - I can live with it - it is just another annoyance like the itty-bitty analog clock and the "auto" position on the headlamp stick

 

Once you open a door (not the gas door or the trunk, it must be a door) after a keyfob press, the system is deactivated and will not automatically lock. You can even close the door after opening it.

 

Chaz,
Use the unlock button on the door arm rest when you are getting out or leave the door slightly ajar.

The dealer can turn off the "auto lock" feature with their computer. Its one of many "options" that can be adjusted.

 

I want my car to lock when I shift out of PARK and drive away and unlock when I shift it back into PARK after it's been in R-N-D. Is that possible?

 

It is possible with aftermarket mods. I had that functionality on my 2000 Xterra when I installed a Clifford into it. But beware of voiding manufacturers warranty.

 

there's an automatic lock if the key is not in the ignition...so make sure that you have the key with you when are pumping gas...

 

The automatic lock only functions if it is programmed that way. I believe the factory default setting is no auto lock.
As spclfx posted above, have service look at it and program off the auto lock setting.
