Thanks for your opinion. I find it a useful feature, whether you do or
not.

You're doing a fine job of coming off as a class "A" fool, yourself.

I got the same reply when I asked about 2007 Accord Navi beeping every 12
seconds."Did you read the manual that came with your toy"?
Of course I did.That is the reason I am asking this newsgroup.Maybe I missed
something and am looking for additional info.
That poster never did reply back after I replied,so I guess he was busy
eating crow.

When asking for free advice, always assume you will get what you paid for...

It was an honest question; a lot of people don't check the manual. Answering
questions about how to turn on the headlights can be a big drag on an auto
forum. After determining you had read the manual we can try to provide the
additional info and even learn about it ourselves.

Personally, I avoid getting involved in questions from people who are short
with others who try to help - I ditched the "kick me" sign long ago.

No, these haven't been smart-ass replies.

"The auto lock feature is just about as useful as that expensive
warranty you bought that you'll never need. What a waste of money!"

That's more like it.

Don't let these guys fool you, auto locks are found on European cars,
too. I watched my mechanic break into a Porsche Cayanne the other day
because of the auto locks timed out and locked the keys in the car.

Yeah, I even have a daughter that sometimes will ask me a question and
I give my best answer and then she argues with my answer. I finally
told her I hate people that do this.... sorta to me like she or
whoever is looking for an arguement to start. I get to the point
where I don't want to bother to answer.

I'm curious - what do you find useful about it?

As near as I can tell, all it does is force the emergency response team to
have to break into the car to get you out after the crash.

Early Volvo 850s were Volvo's first attempt at totally computerizing a car.
One of the common complaints was that the door locks would become
demonically possessed, rapidly cycling, locking or unlocking at random, and
with a propensity to lock the doors when people got out to put gas in the
car! Buwahaahaahaa!
