Autolock When Driving - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

In some cars you need to hold down the "lock" button in order to activate this feature.
Maybe that helps?!

yeah im kind of wondering this.
i never had auto locking doors so i never actually lock my doors during a drive.

But i guess i dont live in a criminal area where car jackings at streetlights may occur.

That is actually a nice feature recommendation.

I use to live in the Detroit area for several years. The Detroit Police Department tells the nurses and doctors of Detroit Mercy Hospital that when they leave at night to NOT stop at the stop signs and stop lights in the area!! They instruct them to cautiously approach, and if clear, floor it.

Also, when you get pulled over at night, roll all windows down, and hands on the steering wheel. Let the officer TELL you what to do. Why? Because they approach with their guns DRAWN.

Now I'm in the Columbus, OH area where it's not bad. So I guess it's just a habit.

That move may have very well saved your car and/or life.....

i used to work at toyota its an easy fix just go to the dealer and ask them to put the auto lock on they'll use the toyota scan tool to go into the customize setting and just simply turn auto lock on ..takes two seconds

Haha, well it's really more of a peace of mind thing I think.
After driving so many vehicles that did this automatically I just figured it would be a common set up these days.
There is no reason Not to do it.
If air bags trigger they can be set to auto unlock when the bags trigger.

Plus it LOOKS cleaner when driving without the red tape sticking out from the handles.

woah are you serious? Is there a charge for this service? I wouldn't be surprised if it cost $120 for a 2 minute job.

I don't' think it will work. Features that are "customizable" by the dealer are explained in the manual, and this is not one of it.

Cripes!

A neighbour of mine had her push bike pinched in 2009. About as rough as it gets here.

While at the dealer, some lady locked herself out of her Prius. Some auto locking feature while the key is in the ignition more than a few min. I always worry about this at the car wash. Our cars don't do this right?

I wish it would autolock, but I wish as much, maybe more that it would unlock when I pull on the handle. It is very easy to get accustomed to this feature. My stick shift Hyundai Sonata auto locks and then unlocks when I pull the handle as I prefer.

You'll be fine, you'll get used to it, I did already.
