Keyless Entry

[Jasandjules]

Ok,

This is going to be a stupid question, BUT here goes anyways.....

I have keyless entry, so how the hell do I wash and wax the car without it arming or disarming the car everytime I go near the door....... I could leave the keys in the house etc but then will I not set off the alarm when I pressure wash/lean on the car etc?!?

Is there a simple solution to this ?

Not daft, but....yes leave the keys inside the house after having unlocked and opened the drivers door and closed again (otherwise it will lock again and arm). Simples, I do this all the time

I just take the start/stop button out and that stops my doors locking/unlocking when the water hits the door handle.

How do you do that?

Just pull on the button. Then you can put your key in.

Mine is keyless entry and keyless start.... I just have a button to push to start the engine

On early cars there is a button on the top of the gear selector. Later cars have a button in the dash. The button conceals a 'normal' MB key slot. If you pull the button the keyslot is revealed (in case of keyless go failure) .

Ah ok so open the stop/start button to insert the key and leave it in the car - I had visions of it locking the doors with the key in and me out

You cannot lock the car with the keyless go key in the car - the car will detect the key and refuse to lock. Same with the boot.
