I used passive locking and ended up with keys locked in car while at Vauxhall garage. They were closing so I had to borrow courtesy car and go back next morning with spare keys. Disabled after that incident...
It is not supposed to happen and will normally beep if keys are left inside. My dealer contacted vauxhall hq and they were unable to explain how it happened - one suggestion was strong radio interference stopping the car knowing the key was inside.
Mine were in a courier style bag on the back seat, I closed the door to go and unplug the charger at the dealer and doors locked. Bear in mind some cars are driven by women and it is handy for them to leave keys in handbag.
Yeah in hindsight it wasn't my best plan to use the feature! I think there is so much stuff using the 433Mhz frequency there is always a risk the car might not detect the key...
