My Yaris doesn't "lock" itself - it will "re-lock" after 30 secs. unless a door is opened (but you have to lock it first). This is a nice feature - if you've locked the car and accidentally unlock it while putting your keys in a pocket/purse there's nothing to worry about.

Mine doesn't lock unless I personally use a key to lock it, or have flipped the catch before shutting the door.
But then again, I'm a Luddite (wiki it) and proud of it! |

The auto-lock will activate after you remove the key from the ignition, and open/close the door once. If you open the door once more, the auto-lock will de-activate, and your doors will remain unlocked (presumably since you're opening/closing the door to load multiple items like groceries).

How can I lock myself out of the car? On cold days I want to leave my car warming up for a couple of minutes but it wont let me lock the doors while the engine is on and the door is open.

BY THE WAY, all garages here have been trained to always open the window so that they can reach the lock/unlock button due to some cars having this autolock feature. My friend's civic had it, but the previous owner had an Autostart (remote starter) installed. |

A really annoying feature IMHO... but it could have saved me a couple of tickets in Montreal... where you risk getting a ticket if you forget to lock your car... even in your own driveway!

The cops come around and check to verify if you locked your car door?? Complete waste of manpower and money. Where I live, I feel perfectly competent to leave my car doors unlocked in my driveway. (Then again, I don't keep anything of value in the car, and there is no garage door opener or anything like that in there.)
