C3 Central locking. Is this normal?

Unread post by freddyokel »

So today I finally have all the locks on our C3 Picasso doing what they should (TBF, it was only the LR that was broken)
Everything locks, deadlocks, unlocks etc and all the doors sense 'open' properly.
But... one weirdness remains and I don't know if this is normal.
Whenever you close the drivers door, the car attempts to lock all the doors, including flashing the indicators.
There are only two ways to stop this.
Firstly, leave the keys in the ignition.
Secondly, push the 'Central locking' button (left group, most inward) so the light goes out, then exit and close the door.
Having everything lock when you close the drivers door is very annoying and I'd like to turn it off if possible.
I've done a full BSI reset (https://www.frenchcarforum.co.uk/forum/ ... 51&t=61997) which changed nothing.

So, is this normal? And... if possible, how do I turn it off?

Lol, oops.
So I'm guessing it isn't normal then!
