Default PKE on a C5

All,

On my 96 the PKE was automatic. When you walked away from the car it locked the doors. When you approached the car they unlocked without pushing a button.

Can the C5 do this? I thought the answer was no, but I read some things today that hinted that this functionality was there. I am going to feel real dumb if this was an option I missed. If it is gone - Does anyone know why? I loved that feature.

I know I know read the manual - But I am at work and I just need to know!

Thanks!

Yes. There is a switch on the key fob.

If I recall correctly they dropped that feature after '99...anyone? If you DO have it you will see a slide switch on your key FOB.

PKE used to drive me crazy on my C4...I just turned it off. I used to spend a lot of time around the car and it locking and un-locking drove me nuts. I'm glad that with my '01 fob I control when it locks and unlocks. Be thankful if you don't have it.

I have a 99 and HAVE it, but I never use it because it seems to work at quite a distance! :eek:
