Locked out with key inside car
Just a quick one for the panel, just in case there is an easy way to unlock my Disco4.
Just got out and happened to have left the key in the cupholder. I closed the door and pressed the door lock. In the past it beeps at me to let me know something isn't right....and of course I have the "duh" moment and realise that the key is inside.
On this occasion the car has locked itself....with the key inside and now I cannot get in.
So, quick question to the panel - is there a way to open the doors or am I simply going to have to sit tight until the other half arrives with the spare key....and have to pay my dues for months to come?

if the key fob is in the vicinity it should open the same as if it was in your pocket

If it’s sensed the keys to lock it should sense them to unlock providing they are in the same place, mine will not lock with the keys inside, neither will it start unless the keys are in my pocket and I am in the drivers seat.It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
