Hello everyone,

Let me describe the condition I have encountered yesterday and would be glad if you tell me what it was.

After locking the vehicle (US version, HSE) with a remote, trying to unlock it. By pressing the unlock button twice to unlock read doors - it does not work, unlocking tailgate does not work either, can't open fuel cap door too. Pressing the unlock button on the console does not help either. Locking/unlocking car with the key - same situation - rear doors, tailgate and fuel cap remain locked.

I drove home, parked car in the garage, connected the battery to maintainer (just in case). This morning, came down, saw that battery is fully charged.

Tried to unlock rear door with the remote - same situation. Tried with the second key/remote - no change. Then I put the key in the ignition, turned it to position II, but did not start the car. Then turned the key to off, removed the key, got out, closed the door, locked the car.

After that, when pressing the unlock button twice - now rear doors and fuel cap are unlocked. I repeated lock/unlock with the second key/remote - works too. Also checked the button on console - also locks/unlocks all doors.

My questions: what it was, what caused this, how to avoid this happening again and was the procedure to bring back everything to normal right one?

P.S. Does anyone got link to 2005 RR HSE US version owner's manual? I downloaded UK version but certain stuff is differnt and missing. Also saw US version but it is 2002, it shows AM/FM radio on dash, wile mine has screen.
