There's a little recess on each handle located at the most rearward part of the handle. You just touch that part lightly with your finger, once to lock, twice to superlock, hold to close windows and lock. |

Thanks for the prompt - I did read it in the instructions but haven't tried it yet - I'm a bit old school & still using the fob |

I’m with you Alistair. And this explains my bafflement as to why when I’m washing the RR with the fob in my pocket it magically locks itself . Never mind, I suppose in 20 years the RR will be driving itself to the car wash and coming home afterwards. Norman

I learnt quickly that when washing the car, leave the key in the house until you want to actually open the doors (or suppose you could unlock it then put key in the house - but will it then auto-lock if doors haven't been opened after unlocking?) to clean the sills as otherwise you are constantly locking/unlocking the doors as you clean the 4 of them. Must say though, mine is quirky , depending where you park e.g. I was at the LR Main dealer and the doors would not lock via touch (been there 3 times with same result) , had to use the fob, I can only put it down to it being near loads of other RRs and it was being confused by other signal being detected or the like? Also, I haven't tried it, but I assume the touch locking will also only lock the car if you have the key fob within the 1 metre range. Steve

My wife's (lowly) VW Passat Estate has this feature as well as the "wave your foot around under the bumper" to make the electric boot open - they are brilliant

Boys why do you not just unlock your cars then place the key fob inside the vehicle as the vehicle will not lock with the keys inside the vehicle if you touch the handle out side while washing . this will stop the vehicle locking and unlocking when you are washing the outside. |

My door handles have round indentations which is where you touch for keyless locking...did this change at 15MY then?

VW Group is huge though, they will always have the technologies to pick and choose from across 12 brands.

You can lock the doors by touching ANY of the four door handles If you have nothing nice to say,say nothing at all. |

@Jettec - only problem leaving the key in the car is that if you say get a call on home phone, nip to get something, or move away from the car for any other reason when it would be out of sight, its sat their waiting to be stolen. At least with it in my pocket or in the house, even with doors unlocked, I don't have to worry about an opportunist hopping in and driving it away. That said, I am in a very quiet neighbourhood at the end of a close, but still I would be worried for the day when I went to do something and for whatever reason forgot I had left the key in the car. Just me I suppose. Not worth the risk, as insurance company basically would not pay out if they subsequently found the key was left in the car intentionally and it was unattended when stolen (I wouldn't be able to lie to an insurance company, not in my nature).
