Dears Users, I’m Using Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire. Till last month my car used to unlock doors automatically while taking the key out. Now the problem is : After turning off the ignition & taking the key off Car doors are not unlocking automatically. If doors are unlocked manually from inside by pressing unlock button situated in the car, doors are unlocking. If I unlock the doors manually and open the doors, I’m unable to lock the car with the remote key after closing the doors. Some one please help me. Thanks & Regards, Venkatesh ---

Was any elecronic component recently replace ? Has the battery been dead recently ? Either of those might require re-progrmming. ---

The key-in-ignition switch may be stuck/failing. The system may believe that a key is in the ignition. Do you hear a warning chime when the door is open? ---

I am in agreement with ken green that this sounds like the type of reprogramming issue that crops up after electrical power has been disconnected for any reason. I suspect that the OP had recent battery problems, but we need a response to the questions that ken green posed. ---
