For some reason when I use the key to lock the doors the boot does not lock
i thought the boot button would lock and close but that does not work
has anyone had the same problem or am I doing something wrong
Are you sure it is not locking ?.
If you lock the car and then go around to the back of the car and you have the key still in your pocket, you WILL be able to open the boot !.
Lock the car, then take the key out of range of the car, then try opening the boot !.
See - it is still locked !.
This is handy, if you have returned to the car with shopping bags.
With the key in still your pocket, you will be able to lift up the MG badge and enter the boot.
Place your shopping in the boot and close it, now the boot will re-lock ( as seen by a single flash of the rear lights ).
All of the doors are still locked when you open the boot by this method.
Use the remote IF you want to open the ALL of the car from a distance or the buttons on the front doors is you are close by.
