W168 Zv & Ffb

Hi,
I have a question:
Last week my batteries of my original MB FunkFernBedienung were out of order, so I had to use my key to unlock the driversdoor, when I opened the door all other doors opened. But when I arrived at my destination I used the key again to lock the car BUT (to my surprise) only the drivers door locked itself, the rest stayed unlocked. So I had to get in the car and manually push every doorpin down , lock the drivers door then remove the little black plastic thingy in the Heckklappeschloss and lock this as well !!!
It seems to me very unlogical that if your FFB is out of order, we can't enjoy ZentralVerriegelung ?
Is this normal ? Or just my car ?
thx

 

when you unlocked the car, the driver door was unlocked, but when you opened the door every door was unlocked....... and your problem with unlocking the car is normal

 

Yeah, ok but then you'll have to use the button after opening the driversdoor unless all doors will open again , no ?
I know because it is programmed like this & yes I know you can change it but all this lasted only a day then I replaced the batteries but I still asked myself the question:
why the ZV doesn't work with the key like in my mom's A140Classic version without FFB, doesn't seem logical to my, but hey I'm not an MB engineer afterall !
I askes my MB Werkstatt the question, we'll see what they have to say, or else I'll mail the question to Maastricht/MB CAC (like I did for my wintertyres - superfast service by the way ! )

 

@ Peter:

Sure, Sounds great 8), I work in the center of Brussels !

Send my a mail when you think of coming to Brussel, we could even try a real Belgian beer ;D

 

Ok, thanks a lot for the advice. This last one is especially usefull to lock the booth !
I'll sent a mail to Holland anyway.
It is too stupid that if you buy a Classic, you get ZV standard, if you spend more money on a Elegance or Avantgarde, you get only FFB and no ZV.
I got the batteries changed but my mom who has an Classic and not used to using a FFB, only locked my car with the key, so the whole night my car was on the street unlocked, of course she didn't know any better, but still…
