Just taken delivery of a new Autotrail Tracker EKS, and I'm dry disturbed to find all doors automatically lock after 45 seconds. Tried changing this on the 3.5" display options, nothing changes. Only way round, if you rember every time, is to open and shut the cab door(s). My worry is, should I exit the m.home without the keys, or not using the cab doors, for any number of reasons, I would be totally locked out. This clearly could be dangerous in many circumstances, apart from just the inconvenience. Does anyone know how this system can be changed, e.g auto-locking cancelled permanently.

Hi we have just taken delivery of a new Mclouise Fusion on a Fiat Ducatto and have discovered the same thing. Checked direct with Fiat and our dealer and this “auto lock” is a standard feature and it cannot be disabled.
Ways round it seem to be

open the habitation door and leave it open until cab doors lock and you can use it as normal

always open a cab door

make sure you keep your keys outside the motor home ( not ideal I know)

do what we have done and secure a key safe outside the vehicle so you can always unlock the habitation door even if you set the alarm off….
