Evo One, 2016 Honda HR-V, Manual transmission, Push button start
I have an infant who is in an infant seat and is unable to get out of the seat themselves, let alone open a car door. The following situation has occured a couple of times, and luckily we have been at home near a spare set of keys to unlock the car before any excessive overheating in the car.
The steps to reproduce the issue are:
Car running
Put car in neutral
Activate parking brake
Take foot off pedal, wait for "click" sound after a couple of seconds
Leave keys in car
Exit car
Car turns off, and 2 seconds later all doors are locked with keys (and infant) in car
The same issue occurs with this other set of steps:
Car running
Put car in neutral
Activate parking brake
Take foot off pedal, wait for "click" sound after a couple of seconds
Put foot back on brake, and press start/stop to stop the car
Leave keys in car
Exit car
Car turns off, and 2 seconds later all doors are locked with keys (and infant) in car
We have friends who sadly recently lost their toddler due to overheating in their car and we would be heartbroken if this happened to anyone else due to something as simple as a remote starter.
The easy answer would be to say don't leave your keys in the car, or don't leave your car running, but the reality is people forget their keys all the time, and sometimes you need to leave the car running because it's too hot and you need A/C or in the cold, you need the heater while you grab something. We would never leave our kid in the car during one of these situations but it still means your keys would get locked in the car if you ever wanted to leave it running (because it won't run with the keys out of the car).
Either way, it scares us to think that our remote starter could possibly lock our kid in the car, with the keys in there as well.
Please advise if this is intended behavior (and what the fix is) or if it was installed incorrectly, or if there is a way to turn off the auto lock feature when the keys are in the car.
Thanks!
