I've had this problem on very rare occasions, I think the system
just gets confused sometimes...... so, try this;
1. Open Drivers Door, Insert key into ignition and turn to ON position.
2. Turn ignition to OFF, Remove key and close the door.
3. Now try the remote - to lock your vehicle.
I've found this works..... to somehow reset things.

Davey, I know this is going to sound funny, but manually operate the locks a few times from the driver's inside door latch. Our cars actually lock the doors 1 at a time and if it senses a door not locking, it doesn't continue on and lock all the other doors. So, in your case, because the driver's door is the first door to get locked, if it doesn't move, then the other doors will not lock either. When using the key, there is a different sequence that the computer uses for some reason.

I had this problem where sometimes the key fob would properly lock and unlock, but at other times it would beep the horn instead of locking. The issue is the X-Type "smart locking" system. If a door, the hood or the luggage compartment are open and an attempt is made to lock the vehicle, the direction indicators will flash 5-times and the horn will chirp twice as a warning that the vehicle is not secure. Simply check all these items (open and firmly close each one) and the key fob should lock the doors.

It's in the forum threads under search. As I've stated too many times nearly everything that can or has happened to these X's has been discussed at one time or another. Only reason I have a fair amount of knowledge is curiosity and spending a couple of years searching and reading threads and internet posts. I have a decent memory of anything I've read, now finding it again is an entirely different problem, lol. There have even been a few cases of a locking mechanism being goofed up in the sequence and the latch "cycles" numerous times rapidly trying to get locked (on a single door).
The sequence is driver's front, passenger front, driver's rear, passenger rear. Thus why if the driver's door lock has a failure, it can really make getting into the car a problem as I assume the unlock sequence is the same, based on if you have double fob actuation enabled (1 push for driver's door, 2nd push for the 3 remaining).
