Car doors are not self-locking when left unlocked

I have a 2007 3-door YR hatchback, and noticed yesterday the doors are not self-locking when the car is left unlocked.

When I got the yaris from the dealer 4 months ago, the car salesman mentioned that the doors will self lock after a few minutes if the car is left unlocked, and this feature was working fine on the car.

Has anyone else had this problem?

This is a standard feature for the aussie buyers i believe...

My YRX yaris automatically locks when i forget to lock it. I believe you should go to your dealer and find out whats wrong...it should take about 10 secs to auto. lock.

I am not sure but logically, if the car locks itself automatically no matter what, then there may come a chance of you leaving the key inside and the car locks the key in.
To avoid this, the car's computer should be able to tell that the key is outside the car before it locks the doors.
I suggest that you first lock the car from outside, then unlock it and then wait a minute to see if the car will re-lock itself automatically, now knowing that the key is outside of it. If even this fails, may be the car's warranty should be invoked.

I would have thought the auto lock system would have been able to determine that the ignition was on or at the very least that the accessories was on... weird.

i think this what might have happened, keyless click once - opens driver. started engine, closed door. now all is locked.

since then i've trained myself to, warm my car up then click the unlock all doors before leaving/closing the car. also a spare key is accessible

Not true on the upgraded power package. Mine has the chip in key. Quite nice actually. Like my ol' Scion Tc.

Our Yaris auto locks itself as well if you unlock the doors and then don't get into the car for 30 seconds.

This can be annoying when washing the car or doing maintenance.

Your dealer is right.....halfway ~

If you unlock the car and don't open any doors for 45 seconds....it will automatically lock itself again ~

However....once you open the door then that just cancels out ~

Come to think of it....you wouldn't want your car to automatically lock besides the way I mentioned above....because....if you think about it....say you got out of the car after parking.....and you suddenly see a friend and get out of the car and start chatting.....but you have left your car keys in your bag....which is in the car ~ After about 2 minutes....your car automatically locks.....what will your reaction be?

Cause I did think of the auto lock after "whatever" minutes thing but then it took me to that scenario.....though....the "Smart Keys" are designed to auto lock when is senses that the keys are not near the car anymore ~ Which is cool ~

I would hate to have that...the whole keys locked in the car thing would piss me off.

I had a Viper installed and the car will lock immediately when the key is inserted. When I come home in the garage, the car unlocks and will not relock unless I use the key pad and lock it myself, which I like. Prior to buying my Yaris that I love I had a Lexus (that I do not miss) and I was forever getting locked out while leaning it...so I like the lock it yourself style but others may not.
