I never understood why anyone leaves their car running while going into a store or especially getting gas.
door lock feature

- Start date
I never understood why anyone leaves their car running while going into a store or especially getting gas.
Just to add my 2 cents worth. This is a normal feature, and not a recent one either.
Neither one of my previous cars (2002 Pathfinder, 2006 Altima) would let me lock the doors while the key is in the ignition and engine running.

Laziness? No offense, OP, but I don't understand why you want to do this. Unless you live in Mayberry. A friend of mine left her car running while she ran into a Convenient. Guess what happened? This was in a safe Cleveland suburb too.
Do you have remote start? Turn car off, get out, lock it, remote start it.

Laziness? - a button push is that hard? we don't even have to get keys out anymore.... Maybe if someone wants their car to warm up, but even not running, the latent heat in the engine will still be transferred to the radiator, etc. Maybe the OP can share the use case, but I just don't see it being any of the risk.

True. Retract.
Maybe they want to cut down on wear and tear of the starter?
I think you are right with saying laziness.. i never realized pushing the button was that much work
- yep save the starter,I have never seen that here in Ontario, Canada. It's almost unthinkable.
Because
Maybe so it isn't 130 degrees inside upon return?
Ducking out for a few seconds with the engine off won't make the interior suddenly hot or cold (which ever is the case)

It's still keyless. Keyless for the owner, keyless for the thief. [emoji16]
