I've noticed that the car will automatically lock itself after a minute or so of sitting unlocked, but i didnt think it was possible for it to do so with the keys in the ignition.

It will only do that when it's been locked, and you use the remote to unlock it but don't open the door within a minute. If you've opened a door after unlocking, it will not re-lock.

I think it says in the manual.
"NOTE
After unlocking with the transmitter, all doors will automatically lock if one of the doors is not opened within about 30 seconds"
