How to unlock all the doors automatically

Ah, ok. Thanks. It must be a 5 addition.

 

So far, most owners seem concerned about the unlocking features. My concern is the locking feature. On more than one occasion I have walked away from the car and forgot to lock the doors, mainly because the remote was in my pocket. My old Camry was key driven so when I exited the car the remote was in my hand and I would remember to lock the doors. If I forgot, the alarm would set and trip if a door was opened. I would like for the doors to lock themselves after a minute or so. I'm forgetting a lot of things these days (76 yrs old).

 

I'm right there with you. I just got mine last week and have already walked away without locking only to realize it seconds later. Just have to get out of that habit of walking away. That is actually a good idea to auto lock after a minute or so. Since you can't lock the keys in the car, I don't see why this would be a problem.

 

Got it to work on my V Touring by pressing 2 buttons for 5 Sec. THANKS!
Stupid Toyota Canada wont let me access my "Setup"- "Vehicle" on screen.

 

I recently bought a 2012 Prius v model 3. The dealer can set the car unlock function to unlock all doors upon touching the inside the door handle. Also, I had the dealer disable the timed auto lock feature when one leaves the car with the key FOB. I guess the auto lock is for those who are forgetful about locking the car. It just gets in my way. I like to leave car unlocked in garage.

Just a comment, but there are TWO unlock features:

A) You can program the Fob to unlock all doors with one click, as opposed to the default of two clicks. This is programmed by the Fob

B) You can program so that grabbing the drivers door handle (on the v5, also the front passenger and hatch handles) unlocks all doors, this is the one programed in the Display screen.

I use both. I lock my v3 with the inside lock button, once I open the door, it is the warmest door lock.

 

Wait, what? The timed auto lock feature is enabled by default? Can only the dealer do this?

 

First BTH drives a v and you don't, so you do not necessarily have the same 'right' answer to that question.

Your 'right' answer is here:
http://www.toyota.com/t3Portal/document/om/OM47791U/pdf/sec_06-02.pdf
(Page 3 of the PDF, Page 598 says the default is 60 seconds and that it is user customizable if you have NAV, or a dealer setting.

 

Gotcha. But this is only if you approach the car in a locked state, unlock the doors, but then don't open any doors, they will auto lock after 60 seconds.

What I was looking for was the scenario where you power off, exit the car, close the door and don't lock the doors, it would auto lock after a certain interval once the fob is out of range.

So only the V has this capability?

 

Here is the customization section for the v, I see nothing like that. Nor have I noticed that feature in my v, but I am very diligent in locking, so I might not notice it.

Here is the section on unlocking and locking, I saw nothing like that

Ok. BTH inferred he had this capability and that the dealer disabled it for him.

 

We just picked up our v 5 last week.....the salesperson showed us how to unlock all the doors, or just the driver's door......
He said most people prefer the drivers door unlock only for personal safety......
If you are in a situation, bad neighborhood, suspicious people lurking, etc, you want to unlock your door only to get in and then lock the door.....if all doors unlock, any undesirable can jump in one of the other doors.....
My wife is the primary driver, and travels alone....we elected to leave the driver's door only, and she would have to deliberately unlock the other doors.....

 

You may wish to set the auto off headlights to 90 seconds. (As a guy, I set them to off [ 0 seconds])

 

I currently have a 2013 Prius II. My previous 2008 Prius would open all doors as I automatically opened the drivers door with the keyless function. I took my new one back to the dealer and they claimed Toyota had changed that feature and deleted it on the level II models. However, through a friend I found out they are all wrong and it is so simple.

Open your driver door and sit in the drivers seat. Take your key fob and at the same time press the red emergency button and the lock button and hold for approx. 5-10 seconds. Look on the dash, you will hear a beap and see a small red light and you will notice an image of a car with a single door open. That signifies the drivers door will open automatically. Release the buttons and press the same buttons again for 5-10 seconds....you will hear another beap and see another red light and eventually you'll see another image of a car with 4 doors. Release the buttons. Your car has now been reprogrammed.

Your car should now open all doors including your hatchback when you unlock the drivers door.

 

In an earlier entry, I referred to the dealer disabling the auto lock when I leave the car with the key FOB. The dealer used a laptop computer and connected it the car's computer port just under the dash. Now, my car never locks when I leave it. I must touch the driver,s side door handle or use the key FOB. The car will lock when I exceed a certain speed (don't remember the specific number) and unlock when the vehicle to turned off or put into park. I drive a 2012 Prius v model 3. It does not have any keyless entry points on the passages side or on the back hatch. Hope clarifies how my car works.

Smokie Joe is absolutely correct. My salesperson did this for me but she told me how as well. This is exactly how she said she did it.

 

Worked
Thanks

On two 2006 Prius' I have changed the door lock programming by pressing simultaneously the lock and "panic" buttons for five seconds, not the lock and unlock buttons. you toggle through three options.

 

Yes, some techniques change between generations, this is the Prius v (station wagon) forum.

 

Worked for me as well.
