I guess this way I won't lock my keys in the Van.;-) :) this is something that the Germans seem to do on all the cars i've ever had anything to do with ... Porsche, Mercedes, BMW, and VW. you MUST lock the driver's door with the key from the outside. it's to prevent you from locking your keys in the car. only trouble with the bus is, if you go out the sliding door, you can lock the keys inside with nooooo trouble at all. :) joel
