Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
Our cars go into 'sleep mode' after a few days, you have no problems, use the key in the door lock to 'wake' the car up, then lock / unlock with the fob, saves opening the door and having the alarm go off before you get the key in the ignition !

My problem is that sometimes I get complacent , I've been a diagnostic technician for Mercedes for 20 years and I sometimes forget that not all German manufactures use the same functionality .

Hi all , I've noticed that if I leave my car for more than a few days without any use , the central locking from the key fob will not unlock the doors, so I gain access with the key , cycle the ignition on and off again to switch off the alarm , then the remote central locking from the fob returns to fully operational again , batt voltage all good .

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

Hi all , I've noticed that if I leave my car for more than a few days without any use , the central locking from the key fob will not unlock the doors, so I gain access with the key , cycle the ignition on and off again to switch off the alarm , then the remote central locking from the fob returns to fully operational again , batt voltage all good . Any ideas ? P.s only had the car a month so I'm not sure if this had been an on going issue .

Hello Our cars go into 'sleep mode' after a few days, you have no problems, use the key in the door lock to 'wake' the car up, then lock / unlock with the fob, saves opening the door and having the alarm go off before you get the key in the ignition ! did you also know that when you lock the car , if you hold the button the windows and sunroof ( if fitted) will close. 75pno

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi , Thank you for that I appreciate that , I didn't know that they went into sleep mode , I've been on Mercedes for so long which don't do that , I am aware that some vehicles have convenience closure but i've never tried that on my car , i'l pop out to the garage and try it . Thanks again ??

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hahaha , Oh believe me I have to reply and here's why , I'm the first person to moan about people that own a Mercedes-Benz and don't read the "Operaters manual". My problem is that sometimes I get complacent , I've been a diagnostic technician for Mercedes for 20 years and I sometimes forget that not all German manufactures use the same functionality . Yes what a Tw@t I've looked ????
