This last weekend I was in Manhattan for lunch when I got in my 2014 X1 with Comfort Access (Ultimate Package). When I put the car in Drive, I got a chime and message indicating I needed to "secure the vehicle before moving it." A moment later an indicator came on indicating a door was open, then the trunk. I double-checked all the doors and trunk, slamming them closed. I still kept getting the same messages and chimes every time I took my foot off the brake to move the car. Of course this happened as I was trying to drive from the east side of Manhattan to the west side with crazy holiday traffic, took me almost an hour to get out of NYC that afternoon. Again I checked all the doors and trunk several times. Add the constant chiming along with a sudden need to empty one's bladder and it made for a very frustrating ride home.

As soon as I got home, I first emptied the bladder, then went back to the car, hoping the problem would go away. It didn't. I then checked the PDF of the manual and logged online to see if I could find any answers to this issue, to no avail. But remembering something about keyfobs and batteries needing to be changed after a year or so, I decided to change the battery in the fob. I went back down to the car, and lo and behold, the problem was gone. Just to confirm, I put the original battery back in, but the problem was still gone. So somewhere in that 15 minute period, the computer or sensor causing this issue must have reset.

Has anyone experienced similar? Is there a secret "reset" button push to make this happen on demand? Any other possible solutions if this should come up again?
