By design, perhaps ?

Unfortunately, my other locks do not work by vaccuum. I suppose there is a leak somewhere, as the car is reluctant to shut off also. It will only shut off if the drivers door is locked.
Yes, I don't think the refusal to lock when the door is open is a problem though. I think that is by design, to prevent people from locking themselves out. Every vehicle should be set up that way. There would be no such thing as locking yourself out if that was the case. If it is by default, I'll take it. Everything works fine on my car though.
