Does anyone know if there is a setting somewhere to keep the doors from unlocking automatically when the Park button is pushed? I often push Park and take my foot off the brake while waiting at stop lights and I don't want to wear out the door lock/unlock mechanisms.
On your Entune radio go to APPS / Setup / Vehicle / Vehicle customization / Door Lock Settings / Automatic Door Lock You'll find several options Posted via the PriusChat mobile app.
I wish we had this feature in the UK, unfortunately Toyota decided to omit this feature. I have had in my cars for years and it’s something I miss.
I found it just as described by lcastro above. Now I have it set up as desired. Thanks so much for your quick reply! Tons of other settings to look through under Vehicle Customization as well.
There is a whole Customization ection near the back of the User Manual that also documents settings that can be changed by the dealer using TechStream. They also tell you where you can make the changes. Some are using yh small display next to the speedometer and some are on the larger center screen.
No auto-locking or auto-unlocking on my Business Edition, but are you able to override the auto unlock with one press of the Lock Button on the driver's door armrest?
Yes, I am still trying to get it into my startup routine of pressing it after I press the Start button, but I often forget The other thing is when you use the lock button the front seat passenger can't get out unless you press it again to unlock it. Usually someone opening the passenger door from inside would override the auto locking. I am also not sure if the doors will auto unlock in the event of an accident like I know my previous car were set up to do. Really don't know why the option has been omitted from UK cars, shame it can't be enabled somehow.
Ok. My 09 C Class inhibited the passenger from opening the door with a deadlock, but I think if one pulled the inside release handle twice in quick succession it could work.
I'm sorry my friend. I should have known Sod's Law states that any good example will blow up in your face when put to the test, but always worth a try!
While Murphy's law says that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong (eventually),Sod's law requires that it always goes wrong with the worst possible outcome.
