Default Auto Locking?

Since you really don't need to ever take the key fob out of your purse or pocket to get in the car or start the ignition, I was wondering if the doors automatically lock themselves after you (and the fob) have exited the car??

Could it be? Or is it too good to be true?

No, they don't automatically lock, but all you need to do is touch the top of the door handle and they lock.

They only auto-lock if you unlock then don't open a door or the hatch within so many seconds.

Is there anyone way to make this happen. If you install either of the Toyota security options can you add this feature?

In a future GenXIV your greatgrand kids will just have to think about locking the doors and it will happen! Until then . . . touch the top of the driver's door handle, press the key fob lock, or hit the lock button on your wout of the car. Jeezze, what we have to put up with in 2010!!!

Maybe 15 years ago, Corvettes had this feature--and I believe they dropped it fairly quickly. For many people there are probably situations where you leave it unlocked more than locked, then you need to remember to somehow disable it. I think Martin is on to something here with the mind meld with the car.

Don’t be afraid if new technology.

Having auto locking door is a great feature that is available on many after market car alarm systems. I had it on my previous SUV. It was great, if you walked away from the car the doors auto locked.

Does anyone know if this is a feature on either of the two Toyota VIP security systems?
