Default Why do the doors self-lock?

The doors are locking as the 2004 V70 2.4 N/A sits in the garage.
At first I thought I may be hitting the lock button on the remote as it is in my pocket or placing it on the key hook inside the house. But last night I was removing gear & cleaning and I heard the doors lock. I placed the remote on top of the car, nothing touching it.
Short time later the doors locked again.
There is not another Volvo in the neighborhood. Could it be a garage door opener that is triggering my locks?
I see a great risk of being locked out of the car as I am unloading or re-fueling, etc.

Your thoughts please,
Dennis

Maybe someone had the feature turned on?
I know if you unlock the car and do not turn the ignition on in a certain amount of time or open the door it will relock to keep the car safe.

Yes, our 2001 V70 will automatically relock itself when you open the doors with the remote but don't access the vehicle within a few minutes. My Benz does the same thing. Believe, as Tech indicated, it's a safety feature. You might check your owner's manual.........should provide info about that feature.
