Child Locks

[organist]

Please be advised that there is a modification to the software for 52/03/53 registration C3's. This enables the child locking system to actually remember that they are set. Previously, after locking the car and returning to it, the child locks had to be set 'on' every time. I forgot once and nearly lost my 4 year-old onto the M3 near Southampton!! :rolleyes:

The new software package also enables the 'auto locking' function, so that the vehicle will (if you desire) automatically lock the doors as soon as the roadspeed increases to over 6mph. This feature can be disabled with the ordinary dashboard locking button.

The software fix is 41.0.

After a month since this 'mod' hs been carried out, I can report that this has finally sorted this out and everything seems to work as it should.

What would be really useful is a list of all of the software modules a C3 uses, a way to find out which ones your particular vehicle has installed and what the latest revisions for each module are.

Just have to brush up on my MS DOS commands I suppose....DIR/P

Strange, my 53 HDI exc has the auto door lock, but also has the forgetful child locks.

Good to know - and I thought it was just me being forgetful!

You need to hold the dashboard locking (NOT the Child lock, the big round one) button down until you get a confirmation 'bong'. This will switch the auto lock on and doing it again will switch it off.

I am having issues to activate the child locks.

The rear doors have this little black lever, do I press it up, down or wat? I cannot seem to move it, noe get anythiong done from the front console button.

I just spoke to my local dealer (Bristol Street,Nottingham) and they said they had never heard of or been asked to do this before. They called another branch (Leicester) and they told them the same thing "What are you talking about?". Is this an education problem with Midlands dealerships or is there some secret way to ask that will get the right answer? Can someone who has successfully had there C3 updated please tell me where they had it done and what they asked for to make the dealer understand them?

Many thanks...
