Leaving Someone in Car..

There’s an additional enable free roll option for automatic car washes that you don’t want to select.
Nah, the normal setting doesn’t. I use it all the time, slope or not.
The additional setting you’re talking about is an extra set of selections with more warnings.

Maybe if interior camera/seat sensors detects something (continuously?) inside then it shouldn’t auto lock? You can’t use live sentry viewer with doors open or someone in car so they already have some of that capability.

If they touch the screen (for example when it goes blank) that will disable the auto-lock - could it be that?
I haven’t checked this but I assumed you need the key for the screen to reactivate or otherwise it will have a message saying unable to open or something along those lines. Did they have their phone with them?
No they were not drivers. I do not believe they tapped the screen. Basically how can I test if my 2022 MY has a volumetric alarm. Tried to disable bluetooth on my phone, wait for my car to lock me inside (not seating on the driver seat), and started to move inside for a few minutes, this did not trigger any alarm..
Does keep climate mode not work? I feel like I’ve used this a few times when leaving passengers in the car. Maybe they‘ve just been lucky.
From my understanding it locks the doors when you walk away but doesn’t engage the interior alarm, again only from experience. No idea if the alarm would go off a door is opened by the passenger though.
Otherwise camp mode looks like a good option.

So that means when they are not on dog mode or camp mode the display won’t be reactivated if it goes off.
That means couple of seconds - the time it takes to lock if walk away lock is enabled.
It shouldn’t as there is no key nearby. Imagine a scenario where you are leaving a naughty 12 year old in the car - in normal cars you take the key out and exit the car to the petrol station or buy stuff and so on if you don’t want to risk - and if your screen is active after the car is locked they still can accidentally move the car. I have not tested this but whenever I close with my watch if I don’t press the watch button the screen will say something like use the card reader to open.
You can't move the car with the infotainment screen. You need a key as well as a pedal and stalk action do that, so there's no risk of a naughty 12 year-old accidentally moving the car unless they have a key in their possession.
I've personally tested activating the infotainment screen without the key in the cabin whilst sitting on the passenger seat.

Me too. Regularly leave my daughter's in car when I nip into a shop. The alarm has only ever gone off once and that was because they went to open a door. I assumed they maybe just sat still enough that the alarm wasn't set off. but they reliably (as reliably as 14 year olds can be!) Tell me that when they are left in the car that Spotify continues to play. I wondered if there was an update that detected passengers so didn't set alarm. But I'm just wondering.
Maybe @MP3Mike is right.
