I had been out in my GR Yaris and got home and put that in the garage. The prelude was parked on the driveway and was double locked - press lock button twice when I left it there.
I had both sets of keys in my pocket. Went to prelude and it opened without touching key. Got in and started then reversed into garage. I have to get prelude out to get GRY out!
Switched off as normal but door latch pulled out but wouldn't open my door while still sat there at the wheel with key in pocket - with GRY keys also.
Started the car agian and still couldn't open the door. Heart rate probably doubled by now. Switched off again and wouldn't open.
I had to start the engine and drop the window and fortunately the door handle opened the door when I put my arm out and used that. If that hadn't opend I was stuffed.
I know that manufacturers say never double lock a car with someone in such as children but I didn't think I did it. I don't think I touched the buttons on the handle. Just did what I have done for 2 month now.
I wonder if having two sets of keys in the pocket accidentally double pressed the prelude key.
It was worrying though. After 47 years driving am fairly confident about opening a car door.
What do you think could have happened?
