Peugeot Kango - can you lock keys in it?

Indricotherium

Have a 172 Kango and I've found over the last few days that I can't lock the car from the outside whole it's running.

No matter what I do the back doors open when I close the front door. It's infuriating.

Does anyone know a sequence I can shut it in so I can lock the car while it defrosts?

Sounds like it's idiot-proofing at work.

(Don't mean that to be offensive)


If your windows have auto close, you could always get out with the window open, lock the doors with the door closed, then close the window.

Your insurance won't cover you if someone nicks it with the keys in though.

Great shout, but the button for the windows is in the centre console. :S

Are you sure you have the right van? Last time I drove a Kangoo it had a Renault Badge.

+1 for not leaving your keys in the van - a warm kettle of water will defrost your windows.

As a kangoo? In the sense that it's made by a different company and doesn't share any parts ? If you're using that definition of "same", then I suppose.

It makes all the same beep noises as a fiat scudo as well.

It's a wonder there's any on the road at all so........

Something you definitely will not see on the road every day if you're driving around is 10 -15 year old partners, berlingos, scudos, kangoos etc, sure they all went to the scrap yard straight from the fleet company (well no idiot would actually buy one with their own money now would they) with a couple of thousand miles on them having spent most of their life in the dealers getting repaired.



Maybe stick to a good old reliable Japanese van, like a Nissan kubistar.........
