In the beginning I didn't know it locked with the car either. Usually these doors just push to open on other cars. And the first time I opened the lid to put in gas, I didnt have to push the unlock button. When I went home I checked to see if I locked the gas cap tight enough, but it wouldn't open. So I thought maybe something got stuck and I push a little harder than usual and the locking mechanism broke. It works just fine though and it doesnt open on its own or anything like that. I know there are other people on here who has had that happen.
Your dealer failed you if they did not point this out to you. Kinda important and a good thing to know. My dealer did not point it out either, but thankfully the Infiniti dealer did when we bought our first G35 in 2004.

I have been paranoid of people tampering with my gas tank since I brought my H2 home from the dealership and a friend walked up, opened the gas cap and said, "I bet a Twix would drop right in there." I have had locking caps/doors ever since.
