thats a safety thing so u dont lock your keys in the car! just hold the handle up when locking to lock your drivers door!

You'll love it the first time you swing that door closed and realize just as it's about to close and latch that you left the keys in the ignition. Wish my Ram had that feature, I've had to break into it twice at work.

Big problem with me is, I was raised in the country. We left the cars and trucks and tractors with keys in them at all times and unlocked. So, for most of my youth and early adult life, Im used to just getting out of my truck as it sets. Now that I live in the city, I have a habit of leaving the keys in the ignition, THEN rememering to lock the door, and finally realizing as I walk away that the keys are not in my hand and I just locked the damn door. Thank goodness it only takes me about 30 seconds to unlock a Dodge Ram with no tools at all..... :wave:
