just pull the door handle and that wakens the car back up again and you can use the remote and not have to use a key.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

alcantara steering wheel felt a little cold and …. moist and the gear shift (also covered in alcantara) felt a little moist too. Other than those two, the rest of the interior was fine.
Is this normal with alcantara or should I be looking at leaving some sort of moisture or humidity absorber in the car?
Am I just being a big girl?
Normally, the steering wheel only gets moist when my sweaty mitts are holding onto it
the alarm puts the car to sleep if not used for a weak to save battery, so you cannot unlock the car remote.

My CSL lived outside for the last two years of its tenure with me, if it wasn't used to a few days in the winter, the alcantara steering wheel always felt a bit "clammy"
It didn't take long for it to dry out with the heater/air con doing it's thing though. So yes, normal in my experience.

Good to know you're using it in the manner it's makers intended
