    Is it possible to change the auto lock setting ?

    Currently, the passenger side door will lock at some as yet undetermined time while driving or something, so that when I go to open it it will sometimes be locked.

    I dont want it to ever lock unless I want it locked. How can I keep this from happening?

    Truck is a 4cyl MT 4x4

    I can change that in the head unit on mine I believe. Check the manual.

    Page 113 of the manual: it is set to lock at 12mph, and can be set or cancelled. Check the head unit.

    Are you talking about the safety feature that locks the doors once above a certain speed? My tuck does this too. Doesn't bother me as it seems like a good safety feature. Maybe the dealer can clear it out of the programming?

    Good catch, missed that. It's got to be in there somewhere, and if not, the dealer should be able to do it for you.

    Just looked through the head unit, no ability to change anything regarding locking.... seems like the dealer would need to do this, if it is even possible.

    Click customization the truck needs to be running in neutral I set park brake not sure that is needed. At this point if it's grey give it a minute to communicate with itself. Mine turned white less than a minute.

    Click lock settings

    Uncheck 1st one as I have done.

    Unlock drivers door unlocks all, there is also some light options like how long dome light stays on as you walk away. You can turn off daytime running lights.

    I don't know what auto relock is so I turned it off.

    auto relock is if you accidentally unlock your vehicle, it will automatically re lock itself after a certain time period as long as you don't open a door

    my FR-S had the same option in techstream; i turned it off :p

    I've got the same vehicle as original poster, and as he mentioned the option shown above is not available.

    Was wondering and hoping someone was able to figure out how to disable the auto-lock feature as it has locked my doors in different scenarios. Not just when I unlocked doors and didnt open any, but also when I've opened and closed them I've had it lock the doors after a period of time. So much so that I constantly make sure I have the keys on me when I exit the vehicle.

    2016 SR 4cyl 5speed 4 X 4

    Thanks
