But this car "remembers" the lock command and "eventually" locks the car when all the door get shut. Don't know whether this is the better behavior of the two behaviors, but I found it very convenient.
I like this behavior. One of my pet peeves in cars is having a chime going at me with nothing to explain why. BMW and Audi both do a good job these days of displaying a textual message accompanying any chime, but there's no easy way to do that when you're outside the car.
