Key Fob not locking/unlocking

[iainmangle]

As a consequence of my 12v Battery going flat twice in two months I found that the vehicle would not lock, and the dealership could not fit me in until 8th November, a mere 3 weeks away. Almost in desperation I went online and found a partial answer, which at least secures my car. 

If your key fob isn't working (either of them) then there may be a need to re-set it (assuming fuses etc check out OK). The trick I found online is straightforward, and has worked for me. All You need to do is hold down the unlock button for five seconds, release it, and then hold down the lock button for five seconds and release it. After that You should be able to use Your fob to press unlock and open the doors. This tip is four years old so it seems to be a longstanding problem, although new to me after a mere fifty years of driving 😞

What the trick did not fix however, is the wing mirrors which don't move with the lock/unlock.

I am sure I read somewhere you need to hold the fob next to the start button and press start after changing the Battery

Have you ensured the mirror switch is either in the L or R position? If it’s in the ‘neutral’ position the mirrors will not fold.

As the Battery has gone flat, the mirrors have defaulted to not folding. You need to press the Auto switch again on the side of your door wing mirror adjustment buttons and it will function once again.

having difficulties getting into ready mode - use the fob to press the start button.
