Car Locking

[KayCee]

Hi all

Hope someone could shed some light on a problem I had Last week

I pulled up into Tesco car park in front of a 15 reg Mercedes that had pulled in  just  before me  the lady got out locked her car  I got out got bags out of boot and locked mine but it didnt Lock i thought strange tried pressing door button still no joy I then got back in thinking something a miss but no so I tried starting it dash said Hold key to button to start, symptom of low fob Battery but i changed Battery in march, so  car started and i moved it to another parking spot and all was ok never done it since

Do mercedes have some key perimeter device because it must have been because i was parked near the car

Hope someone could shed some light on it

If you had not the key it's normal, only key owner can close the car ;-)

hi Zotto

Thanks for the speedy reply

No i had my keyfob on me  and i had parked at the side of the merc

and it seemed that the locking sequence of the merc must have somehow affected mine as soon as i got away from it all was normal I have never heard of this happening before

Or maybe someone was trying to steal/rob the car and was jamming all the key fobs in the area.

most people's don't check if car is locked after pressing the button on the fob.

That'll be it.
