I have a 2010 Roadster and I can't find a way to disable the auto-lock function. According to section 3-5 of my owners manual I can turn the auto-unlock function on or off (where the car unlocks the doors when the car is turned off) but not the auto-lock at 15mph. Is this one of the differences between the '09 and '10 models? Also, there is no option on my trip computer to control this as someone suggested.

Darned Safety Features.

As for pizza delivery, would be a very cool car for that AND probably get a lot of attention BUT, doubt if tips would be that great. People start to feel less sorry for someone delivering pizza in a new Z I would think. Last edited by cames4; 09-24-2010 at 10:47 AM. |

I can understand all of your concerns except for the seatbelt. The seatbelt keeps you in place after a crash allowing for a fast exit. If it is not a crash situation it is easy to hit the release as or before you come to a stop so it is not it the way for fast egress. I find it hard enough staying in my seat with 1.3G direction changes while wearing the seatbelt (auto-x), without it I would likely end up in the passenger seat.
Granted in your position you have to weigh the pro's and con's of everything, but for everyone else here is a sample of what happens.

Seatbelts should be a no-brainer in any situation. I volunteered in a Shock Trauma admitting area when I was younger. You could tell without asking when someone was in a wreck with or without a safety belt. And ingress/egress speed should be secondary to what could happen if you're hastily moving in the vehicle and come to an abrupt and unexpected halt (i.e. another car).

Thats very unusual that your agency is letting you use your personal vehicle as part of a sec convoy. Even as a chase vehicle which is also unusual for a sec convoy (the tactical mind set is usually to get the client away from the threat). Each vehicle is usually four seaters (to accomodate the min standard two agents + the VIP) so that each one can be used incase any number of the convoy vehicles is/are disabled. Not to mention that Z being a poor choice with it's poor rear visibility (tactically speaking) and low seating position. Steering wheel to weapon transition must be a biotch.
as an example: YouTube - Vehicle Tactics P-3 edit: Sorry I'm saying chase when I'm thinking pursuit (car). Last edited by AtomicRob; 09-24-2010 at 01:59 PM. |

AtomicRob,
Your comments are right on target for most. I guess it is a matter of personal preference regarding timing and response. Actually, headed to a new job now so it is possible I can relax, play with my seatbelt, enjoy locks that think for me, and deal with airbag deployment much easier. Like I said, personal preference. :-) I would also say that I think that those that do not wear helments and drive motorcycles are a little off BUT many said I was an idiot for jumping out of a perfectly good airplane. I just try to let the individual be themselves and let Darwins theory weed out the rest. |

I'd really like the doors to lock when I walk away from the car. I don't see that as doable in the OM and can't seem to find it as an option in the settings of the control panel. Is this possible ? Wouldn't want to screw up the locking/ unlocking by pushing buttons randomly and hoping for the best. I got in the habit of not having to lock the doors on the last car. Being an old dog, I'm having trouble learning this new trick, but don't want to lose my stuff.

Best option if you don't feel like fumbling with keys is to press the button on the door after you close it.

My old lady CX-7 2010 doesn't have auto lock and I don't think the 350Z did either.

The auto locking feature on the 2014 cannot be disabled. To all those that say refer to the manual only the auto unlocking feature can be disabled 3-5.
I for one would like to disable the auto locking feature. Since I pull up to drop off a friend and the doors are locked. This should be a configurable function. |

Just bought a 2015 Mazda 3 Hatchback and it has the doors lock when walking away feature. So far I like that feature but did notice in the setup menu it can be turned off.
