The driver's door must be closed in order for the lock sequence to be activated1. If any of the other doors or the tailgate is open, then these are not locked and their alarms armed* until they are closed. The alarm's movement detectors* are activated when all the doors and the tailgate are closed and locked.

Automatic relocking
If none of the doors or the tailgate is opened within 2 minutes of unlocking, they are locked automatically. This function prevents the car from being left unlocked unintentionally.
If the key is not working
If the key's buttons stop working then its battery may be discharged – in which case, replace the battery or use the detachable key blade.
