I always look at the car when I lock it, the flashing turn indicators confirm the locking.
You may consider adding (some of) your car's specifics to your signature.

It's a T5. I have put it in my details but can't find how to edit my signature.

On top of the page, on the second row, click "Quick Links" (on the right side, next to "Log Out")
Click "User Control Panel" and find "Edit Signature" in the list to the left.

Because of where I park at home - private drive some distance from and well out of sight of the road - on a hot day, I sometimes leave the car unlocked with the windows open.
But it’s never re-started by itself, presumably because I make sure it’s fully turned off at the twist knob. However, I will try ‘forgetting’ to switch it off properly to see if it replicates the problem. Also, and probably not relevant here, but I don’t think the car needs the key for remote start using the app., although the doors and transmission remain locked. So, if there is a fault, could be related to this...?

I'm not a Volvo owner (yet) so forgive me if I'm wrong or you have a petrol, on my current A4 the DPF always kicks in at the wrong time, pretty much when I am parking on the driveway even after a long journey.
My neighbours have come to me a few times to tell me that I left my engine on but it was just the DPF doing it's thing, very loudly. Could it be that? |

I have not long been given a diesel car and have not experienced the DPF doing anything yet.
What happens when it regens that would make it sound like an engine running? (It needs fuel from the engine to burn off the particulates, so surely the engine must have to be running to do a regen?)
