Autolock question?

Car is a FL2 3.2HSE

Now that the weather is colder and I have to scrape the ice from the windows, I was wondering about the autolock.

If I start the engine and leave it running to demist the windows etc, then get out the car and shut the door, will the
doors autolock after a period?

I currently only have 1 key, so don't want to risk getting it locked inside the car!

No. Not while its running and not moving although you could always leave the boot cracked open for safety. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

They shouldn't, no, but I'm not sure I would risk it!

In principle the doors will only auto lock on drive-away (when the car reaches a certain speed) or when the car has been unlocked but no doors have been opened for one minute.

I wish it would lock it's a pain having to be out there with it warming up on a cold morning.
