I've got a Nissan Micra
It has central locking with single (hidden) key entry point on the passenger door.
when my CL fails, which it does all too frequently (it seems to be the sensor not the key) you obtain entry using the key on the passenger door which unlocks that door only.
But (something in) the act of getting in and driving off unlocks all the doors.
So when you stop you have all the doors unlocked, and a key which *only* locks the passenger door - all the other doors remaining unlocked and there seems to be no way to lock them.
What nutcase designed this system!
And this is technological progress (well the 10 year ago version)
