If the engine is running the car will not lock with the little black button. It will not lock using the lock button on the FOB. I never used the mechanical key. Ever. So I don't know if that will work or not with the engine running.
You CAN lock a FOB in the car using the lock button on a second FOB but not if the engine is running.

Re: Warm Up & Lock the Doors

OK, I'll probably slap myself afterwards for this but can anyone try the following ?

-Lift the driver's door handle. Keep it "pulled" and lock the door on the door's panel or via the FOB.
-While still holding the door handle "out" close the door.
-Let the door handle go.
-At this point the car should be locked.

Cheers;
